Restarts repeat executions which have already taken place.
There are three main differences between starting and restarting an objectAutomation Engine controlled activities and processes are structured in the form of objects. See also: Task:
You must not repeat restarted tasks because these activitiesDeployment-related activities are difficult to trace.
The original execution's RunIDShort for "run number". It is a number that provides unique information about a task's execution. The RunID can include 7 to 10 digits. It is assigned by the Automation Engine component . is shown in the Detail Window.
Refer to the Getting Started chapter in the Automation EngineThis component drives an Automation Engine system and consists of different types of server processes. Documentation. It describes how a restart works.
Activate the attribute dialog in the Test options tab if attributes such as the agent should be changed. Changes only apply for restarts.
Inherited object variablesPlaceholder for values that are stored in an object's "Variables & Prompts" tab/section. that are not defined in the task require the task still to be displayed in the Activity Window in order to be available for restarts.
Restarts and their original executions have specific statusThis represents the condition of a task (such as active, blocked, generating). symbols:
The following illustration shows a task with the RunID 2384085. It has been repeated twice:
Tasks can be restarted from the Activity Window, the statistical overview or monitors:
The "Execution with Options" command in the Explorer's context menu also opens this dialog.
The minimum interval to be scheduled is a day. You can use the "Execution with Options" command if an object should start more often.
The following script elements facilitate the configurationA set of constituent components that make up a system. This includes information on how the components are connected including the settings applied. and automated execution of restarts:
