Automic Workload Automation

Hi,
I have a workflow that derives it's run parameters automatically. If the job fails these values may need to be altered when restarting. 
What I would want to happen is that if a jobs is manually restarted than a promptset dialog would pop up giving the user the ability to alter the parameters if need be.
Is this possible?
Cheers,
Ben

Hello BenSumner612127,

This is really something that should be done according to your needs... There's no out of the box solution that I would know of.

1) Maybe using the Attribute dialog could help in your case.

You could check if the object has been restarted with SYS_ACT_RESTART, then use :PUT_ATT to set the ATTR_DLG attribute to 'Y'.

You can try using this code in the Process tab of the jobs:

:IF SYS_ACT_RESTART = 'Y'
: PUT_ATT ATTR_DLG = 'Y'
:ENDIF

By doing so the attribute dialog would be activated only when the task is restarted.
However this could not be applied to a workflow, as the ATTR_DLG is not available for these objects.

2) You could as well use a bit of scripting following the same principle.

• SYS_ACT_RESTART to check if the object is executed in restart mode
  
• :BEGINREAD, :READ and :ENDREAD to generate adynamic Promptset
• :PUT_ATT to adjust attributes during the re-run

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Antoine
