Description |
Ignore All Errors
|
Indicates that you do not want the UOW to stop processing,
regardless of how many failures occur.
|
Fail After Total Errors
|
Select the maximum number of failures you want to occur
before the UOW stops processing.
|
Fail After Percent Errors
|
Select the maximum percentage of failures you want to
occur before the UOW stops processing. This option is useful when
there are a large number of command sets being applied to a large
number of resources. If your desired percentage does not equal a whole
number, the number of failures necessary to cause termination is rounded
up. For example, if you select 51% and there are two command sets
and five resources, the formula is as follows:
Max # of failures: (51/100) x (2x5)
= 5.1 = 5
