Query to add a sequence for TASKs to run in Data Management so if one fails the others complete

 we have a query where we have a list of Tasks that are running one after the other but are not linked, and if one of them fails for whatever reason, the rest of the tasks also stop running.

We have been informed by OS that this is not possible to configure this behaviour within the specific task or Data management so we can control which tasks stop and which ones need to be completed in case one of them fails.

We believe this makes sense to have a parameter / setting to set against each individual tasks if they just stop running or continue to completion in case of of the other tasks fail.

At the moment they all fail when there is an error.

    There are several One Community posts that discuss using BRs to start, queue or execute DM sequences.  Here are two:

    Executing, Starting, Queuing DM (Data Management) Sequences from BR on Specific Servers - OneStream Community

    Datamanagement sequence - OneStream Community

    I would search OC to see all threads but the 2 above explain how this can work.

    The other alternative, if each step is mutually exclusive, is to set them up in their own DM Sequences and schedule them separately as it sounds like they do not need to be grouped together.

    Lastly, perhaps post your idea in Idea Stream to allow individual steps to continue even if prior step fails.  Maybe a toggle of True or False upon fail to each step would allow you to control if a prior step has to be completed before the next step. Sounds like an Idea Stream idea to me!
