Automatic WFA reservation cancellation for a failed workflow

christig — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 04:54:01 GMT

WFA Reservation is done at the planning stage of a workflow

If the workflow failed. The reservation is still here. I understand that in some case this could be a go thing. But in mas case it is not

So I would like to know if there is a way to avoid this by having an automatic reservation cancellation in case of workflow failure

Thanks in advance for your help

Regards

Christian

Hi Christian,

AFAIK, there is no way to change things once planning is completed. Reservation is done as part of planning process.

The only way to clean it is goto Execution>Reservation > Delete or clean reservation. But unfortunately, for a mass deletion its a pain, as there is no way to select multiple and delete them.

Also in some cases, cleaning the reservation may not help as the reserved object would have already been created on the traget( 7mode or cDOT)
