Enabling retry for quick publish

If quick publish fails because of a DB2 deadlock timeout error, the files and data changes do not get published. You can enable quick publish retry to automatically force quick publish to try again if a deadlock timeout exception is encountered.

About this task

When you enable quick publish for a task group, the changed files and data within the task group are published to production when all tasks are marked complete and all approvals are satisfied. However, if quick publish fails because of a DB2 deadlock timeout error, the file and data changes do not get published. You can enable quick publish retry to automatically force quick publish to try again when a deadlock timeout exception is encountered.
