Retrying a Failed Job on Devices in Security Director

 

You can retry jobs that did not complete successfully on devices where they were configured to run from the Job Management page. Retrying a failed job allows you to save time because you do not need to create the job again and execute it, but can retry the failed job.

The following jobs can be retried if they fail:

  • Deploy Configuration

  • Discover Network Elements

  • Reboot Devices

  • Resynchronize Network Elements

To retry a job on the devices on which it failed:

  1. Select Monitor > Job Management.

    The Job Management page appears.

  2. Select the job that you want to retry. From the right-click or More menu, select Retry on failed devices.

    The Retry on Job-Name page appears, displaying the list of devices on which you can retry the job.

  3. Specify the parameters for the job retry according to the guidelines provided in Table 1.
  4. Click OK to retry the jobs.

    The Job Details page appears displaying the details of the job.

  5. Click OK.

    You are returned to the Job Management page.
