Issue/Introduction

Job flow for a box job looked like this:

boxjob
      job1
         job_type: SQLAGENT job type:
           step1
           step2
      job2 
         job_type: cmd
       

One of the runs of the box job looked like this:

boxjob starts,   
  job1  goes to failure after step1
  job2  is still running 
 
Application team owner for job1, restarts job1:
sendevent -E RESTARTJOB -J job1

   job1 runs its normal course this time and goes to success
   job2 runs its normal course and goes to success

But boxjob shows up FAILED,  instead of success. 

 

 

Resolution

This is expected behavior because job1 originally failed and it was manually restarted by performing a RESTARTJOB on it. 

Otherwise, you should see success on the boxjob, assuming everything went to SUCCESS on the first go.
