TWS Submit a single job that failed in a job stream If you have a job that fails in a job stream, here is how to modify that job definition and then resubmit only that job. In this example, in job stream TCM_COPY_FILES, the job TCM_COPYO_TIME_J was showing Error. I did not capture that picture. When we looked at this job log, we determined there was an incorrect path on the command line. To correct the path on the command line, you must go to the job definition under Default Database lists. Click on All Job Definitions. Find the job that you want to fix and right click on the job definition. Then right click on properties.

When the properties window opens, click on the Task tab on the left side of the window. There you can make any correction needed to the command line. Be careful when editing the command line. Otherwise you can wipe out the entire command line. When finished click the OK button. That saves your changes to the job definition. Now that you have fixed the job definition, you need to be able to just submit that one job. In this case this job was the last job (the 5th job) in that job stream. Click on All Scheduled Jobs under the Default Plan Lists. Find that job and click on Rerun (see below).

Click on the little box with 3 dots on the end of the From Job Definition line. window like below.

This will open a

Type in the Job definition or part of the job definition with an * at the end, click start, and it will find that job definition for you. This will bring up another window with the job definition in it and you can verify that this is the correct job definition. If it is, then click OK.

This will submit the new job definition in TWS. You do not have to do anything with the job stream. You may have to cancel the job that failed. Then the new job can run successfully and allow the job stream to run to completion.
