To resubmit a batch job set
Whenever a batch job set fails, it is best to resubmit it after correcting the errors that caused the failure. Resubmitting a set causes system to re-perform the batch job set and dependent batch jobs.
To do so, in the Batch Job Sets section, choose the batch job set to resubmit (only a batch job set with a status of FAILED can be resubmitted), then click Resubmit Job Set button.
The Batch Job screen also allows you to resubmit jobs which are in READY or COMPLETED or FAILED status if you have access key privileges define for your user responsibility. If provisioned, then a Force Re-Submit Job Set button is available instead of Resubmit Job Set button to resubmit the jobs with above status.
The Batch Jobs section lists the batch jobs within a job set. The status, threads, commit count, dependencies, enabled indicator and the holiday and weekend runtime indicators are shown for each job.
