Re-Schedule Job on Failure?

  • I have a job that runs 8:00 am daily, but it requires to look at a remote database onboard a ship. Unfortunatly the ship is not always back in range of the wireless so the database may or may not be available.

    Is there a way to check the availability of the connection to a remote SQL server and if unavailable reschedule the job, or at the least automatically reschedule (For maybe 1 hour later) if the job fails?

    Thank you,

  • You can go into the Advanced Properties of a step and set up a number of retry attempts and a retry interval. That ought to do what you need.
