Symptoms

A job with multiple steps failed while executing a step other than the first step. If a user subsequently manually submits the job for execution (using the Run command in the Console), the execution options will be configured to start the job from the step that previously failed. This is shown on the Steps page of the Execute Job window, but no other indication is given that this will happen.

Cause

This behavior is by design but is not documented and is poorly communicated to the user.

Workaround

This behavior can be turned off on a per-computer basis by modifying the configuration file for the Console. To change the setting, open the "adtconsole.exe.config" file in the adTempus program folder using a text editor such as Notepad. You will need to run the editor "As Administrator" or you won't have permission to save the file.

In the file, look for a line like this:

<DefaultRunJobOnFailedStep>true</DefaultRunJobOnFailedStep>

Change the setting to false:

<DefaultRunJobOnFailedStep>false</DefaultRunJobOnFailedStep>

Then save the file and restart the Console.

This change must be made on each computer where the Console is run.

Status

We will change this behavior to give the user better information.
