Use this dialog box to enable the restart options for specific jobs in the CommCell environment.
Job Restart
The following properties can be established for the selected job type. Note that not all job types can be configured with the properties listed below.
-
Job Type
The job types that are available for the Restart option. To specify the restart options, from the Job Type list, click a job type.
For data protection and data recovery jobs, some agents have an agent-specific job type available. For example, to set data protection restart options for DB2 agents, click DB2 (Data Protection). If your agent does not have an agent-specific job type listed, depending on your agent, click one of the following job types:
-
File System and Indexing Based (Data Protection) or File System and Indexing Based (Data Recovery)
Covers agents such as NDMP and Linux File System.
-
Other (Data Protection) or Other (Data Recovery)
Covers agents such as Exchange Mailbox Agent.

Max Restarts

-
Restart Interval (Mins)
The amount of time the Job Manager will wait before restarting a job that has gone into a pending state. Use the space to enter the restart interval (in minutes) for a selected job type.
-
Restartable
Specifies that the Job Manager can restart the selected job types in the event of a job phase failure.
Caution
The CommServe host failover configuration process disables this option for Job Type = SQL DB (Data Recovery). Re-enabling it can cause very long delays and is not recommended.
-
Enable Total Running Time
The maximum time, in hours and minutes, that an individual job gets to be completed. The default is 6 hours. When the specified elapsed time is reached, as long as the job is in the "Running" state, it will continue. However, if the job is not in the "Running" state when the specified time is reached, Job Manager will kill the job.
This option is used only when the Enable Total Running Time option is not selected for a specified job.
-
Kill Running Jobs When Total Running Time Expires
Kills an individual job when the specified Total Running Time has elapsed, even if its state is "Running". This option is available only if you have specified a Total Running Time.
This option is used only when the Kill Running Jobs When Total Running Time Expires option is not selected for a specified job.
Start Phase Retry Interval (Mins)
The amount of time the Job Manager waits before retrying a job when a phase is unable to start. Use the space to enter the retry interval (in minutes).
