ForEach activity restartability of failed activities in the loop

Question

ForEach activity restartability of failed activities in the loop

Kiran 26

Hello, How to rerun a failed activity within a ForEach loop activity? For Example: Say I have 10 activities, 9 of them ran successful but 1 failed. How to run just that one activity when I restart the pipeline? When I rerun the pipeline now all of the 10 activities run.

The below image suggests to try "Retry" but it wouldn't work if I need to fix something before I can rerun the pipeline.

Thanks

Hey ,

Unfortunately based on my understanding, in case some activity has failed within for activity and you rerun from failed activity, it would again iterate for the entire number of iterations and not just the failed one.

Now, in case if you want to run just the failed iteration, then you would have to keep a log table and have a flag updated at the end of every iteration for a successful one.

AND then run the entire pipeline again as it would now take the iteration of just failed one (the one where flag was not updated)

That's unfortunate that ForEach activity doesn't have the capability to bypass the successful iterations. I will try to implement the work around but it's all the extra processing that I would like to avoid when the ForEach activity in my pipeline runs for long time as it loops through several iterations.
