Scheduler: Propagate Failure in Chain Actions?

ALC · January 9, 2014 6:39AM

I have a Task List with a Chain Action set up with multiple tasks. The Propagate failure box is unticked however when anerror is encountered in one of the tasks, none of the remaining tasks are carried out. The failure action occurs as expected with an email sent with the log

What changes do I need to make to ensure that all the tasks listed below the one containing the error is executed?

Thanks, Anna

Can you send us the config.xml, telling which action is failing?
Also can you send the server log.txt file?

It is fine if a task listed within the chain action fails - the error log means that we can fix it. What I need is for the task below to start even if the one above has failed - does that make sense?

Hello,

To solve your issue you need to configure two Chain actions, one inside the other.

In your case you have a Chain action A, that contains different File actions X, Y, Z
You need to change this to a Chain action A containing 3 different Chain actions B, C, D, where each of these will individually contain one or more File actions on a given file.

Then make sure you untick "Propagate Failure" option on the B,C,D Chain actions.

Welcome!
