Recover Failed Job or Job Container
Target View

In target view, the Recover operation is not supported.

Job View

If an installation job has failed for one or more target computers and you want to cleanup the failed job at these target computers, you can recover the job, using both the job container as a whole or an individual job in the container.

Expand Job containers and select the job container that failed in the left tree. Right-click and select Recover in the context menu.

You can also expand the job container in the left tree, select the job that failed, right-click and choose Recover. If there are no jobs that are possible no recover, you will be notified by a message.

In both cases, the Recover Job dialog appears, with a job container tab and three other tabs: job - general, procedure options and job options.

Regarding the settings that can be changed in comparison with the original job (container), refer to recovering a job.

Select among the uninstall procedures that are defined for the software item.

After selection you click OK. Job cleanup will start executing for the computers, where the installation failed.

Regardless if you selected the whole container for a recover operation, or just an individual job, you will keep the old container.

The name of a job container selected for recover operation will get a new name prefix.

If only part of the container, a job, is selected, the prefix mentioned above applies. A suffix [current date time] will be applied as well.

A failed recover job cannot be recovered (you would then need a procedure to clean up a failed uninstall procedure). However, you can renew such a job, or container.
