Description:
I have to create a job that executes x # of tasks. Let's say 10. These tasks combined are going to take 10-12 hours.

Scenario:
Task #4 crashes. I manually fix the underlying bug for task #4 and want to rerun the job starting from task #4 (because running this job takes long enough as is), but I want 4 through 10 to run automatically at this point - instead of having to individually/manually select each task to run after their respective completion.

I have tried to write out a file at the completion of each task. But, if you check for the existence of said files as a condition for each task - you can only select one condition, not 2 - which would simulate if statement logic. If file exists - run next task. If doesn't exist - run current task.

There must be a way to execute a job starting from a task other than the first.

Thanks,
Matt

You have the "On error" tab in the Task window. Here you can control what happens if something goes wrong. For example that it should go to a specified Task and run the following Tasks or not.

Quick and Dirty method:

Disable task 1 to 3 and re-run the job. The job will now start at task 4. While running you can enable task 1 to 3 again for the next automatic shift.

The on error handling isn't what I'm looking for in this particular situation. I was hoping there was something more automated, ErikC, but that seems to be the option with which I am going.

Thanks.

You can add this question in the feature request.

Able to manually start the job at different entry points: not only at job level, but also at task level.

[edit] Right click on a task and select: Run job starting at selected task / Run job from here / Run job starting here [/edit]

Thanks. I am moving this topic to Feature requests.
