Retrying Failed Jobs

When a job fails for a reason that is not permanent, it is automatically retried. You can
define how many times a failed job is retried and how long to wait between retries in the
General pane of Final Cut Server System Preferences and in the Preferences pane of the
Administration window. See “

General Pane Settings

” on page 40 and “

Preference

Settings in the Final Cut Server Client Administration Window

” on page 115 for more

information.

You can also manually retry the job.

To retry a failed job:

m

Control-click the job, then choose Retry from the shortcut menu.

Important:

Only the person who originated a job or the administrator can retry a job.

Additionally, you cannot retry jobs with permanent failures.

About the Log Pane

The Log pane of the Administration window lists Final Cut Server events and can be
useful when you are trying to verify that automations are working correctly or that
users are logging in.

Because the log usually contains a lot of entries, it is very helpful to use the search
feature to find the information you are after. For example, you can enter a user’s name
to see everything that user has done.

You can Control-click a
failed job and choose
Retry from the shortcut
menu to run the job again.
