Restarting Failed Jobs

You can restart a job if it fails; this starts a new run which continues from the failure point.

To restart a job, click on the job tag in the list of builds (on the Jobs > Completed tab). The system displays information about the build, and includes a Restart button at the top of the main pane.
  1. Click the Restart button; the system displays a Restart page.
  2. Select options. You can click the Steps tab to view the steps in the build. On the Steps tab, select the Sync Cmds check box if you want the system to get any updates to the commands in its steps from the project record; if you do not select it, the commands are run exactly as they were when the job was originally started.
  3. Click the Restart page's Restart button.

A restarted job differs from a new job in the following ways:

If a job fails, the system displays an icon on the Completed tab so that you can restart it. Click the icon to display a Restart page for the job. A Restart page is similar to a start page, but the system displays the outcomes of the steps from the failed job as colored dots (green for pass, red for fail, yellow for pass with warnings), and steps that ran in the failed job are selected for exclusion from the job.
