Specifying how to store failed jobs

A job is stored in the queue until it is marked as successful or failed. What to do with a job after it is marked as failed, and after the StreamServer fails to resend the job, depends on the option you specify for how to store failed jobs. These options are described in the table below.

Option	Description
No	No job or job information is stored. If you select this option, jobs cannot be resent from the queue, and no information about the job can be retrieved.
Store information only	No job is stored, but information about the job is stored. If you select this option, jobs cannot be resent from the queue.
Store information and job	The job and information about the job is stored. This is the default option. If you select this option, jobs can be resent from the queue. Failed jobs remain in the queues as long as specified in the Platform configuration dialog box (see Configure Platform dialog box – Generic layer mode).

When is a job marked as failed?

•	A job sent from an output queue is marked as failed when the output connector fails to deliver the output job.

•	A job sent from an input queue is marked as failed when it is not successfully processed, or when an output job created from this job fails.
