Limit Job Rerun

[THOMAS EATON]

I have a job event that inserts a job when associated jobs complete abnormally, the first step of the job that is inserted has a 20 wait time, the second step restarts the original failed job id. This process will however rerun everytime the job fails. Is there a way to limit the amount of times the job event can insert a job for this? Hope this makes sense

Hi Thomas,

You can directly associate a job re-run action and specify up to X many times to the completed abnormally job event.

I have a few jobs setup like this already but the rerun occurs one after another without pausing or waiting for say 15 minutes.

I followed a procedure  https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12614411/rerun-job-after-delay I found a document on this forum for setting a delayed job and it works well but will continue to rerun until the job has completed normally. I have a customer who only wants their jobs rerun once so I would like to limit the delayed start job to running once.

Hi Thomas,

I will have to get back to you on this one.

Apologies for the screenshot, the website blocked my response and is currently being looked into. I've also uploaded my response as a separate image file.

Derrick, I'll check with my team and see if they can clarify a few things for me. I'll let you if we get it working
