In some instances, you may want to rerun a FireWork or Workflow. For example, your computing resource may have crashed or been configured incorrectly during the first run, leading to your first launch being FAILED. When you rerun a FireWork:
One issue with rerunning FireWorks is that the procedure does not reset any previous actions taken by your FireWork. For example, if your FireWork executed an instruction to create a new Workflow step within its FWAction, or modified the inputs of the child FireWork, these actions will not be reset when you rerun the FireWork. The point is important enough that we’ll repeat it in a warning:
Warning
Re-running a FireWork does not reset any dynamic actions taken by that FireWork, such as creating new Workflow steps or modifying the spec of its children.
Rerunning a FireWork is simple - just type:
lpad rerun_fw <FW_ID>
where <FW_ID> is the numerical id of the FireWork you want to re-run. Note that all children of this FireWork will also be re-run.
There is a shortcut to rerun all FireWorks that have FAILED - just use:
lpad rerun_failed
and you will rerun all FAILED FireWorks.
