Automatic Reschedule of Background Jobs

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have a background job which runs on daily basis and does some FTP operations.

Now whenever it fails i need to reschedule that background job again automatically.

How should i do this rescheduling task automatically?

Can anyone please help me out with this?

Thanks,

Praveen

A periodic job is being automatically rescheduled anyway for the next execution, irrespective of the outcome. Do you want a different behaviour when the job fails? Immediate start? Isn't there an error situation that should be corrected before the next execution?

Please provide more details.

Hi Thomas,

My background program does some FTP operations on a network drive.

Sometimes, that network drive is down and the program fails to connect there.,that network down time is not fixed.

So i want the background job to be run again automatically when ever it fails.

I dont have to make any changes in my report, i just need to re run that program again after some time.

Can you please suggest me how to handle this issue?

Thanks,

I can only think of touching the code and have the report schedule itself for one-time execution X minutes later, this would be only a few extra lines.

Dear Thomas,

Can you please guide me with how to write that code to reschedule the job?

As a hint, you can call GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO and BP_JOB_READ to get the details of the current run and feed that into BP_JOB_CREATE, adjusting the starting time as necessary.

Please search for available information as well.
