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

Preference Settings in the Administration Window

for

more information.

You can also manually retry the job.

To retry a failed job

µ

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

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

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.
