Hi, Nice Article. I found a faster way of doing the same from Official documentation of sqoop. https://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.1.0/DG_WorkflowReRun.html So generally, rerunning the Oozie jobs are ad-hoc tasks and you may not want to create xml file just for re-running the job. So command line argument goes as below: oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -rerun 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe -Doozie.wf.rerun.skip.nodes=<> Example for the same oozie job -oozie http://localhost:11000/oozie -rerun 14-20090525161321-oozie-joe -Doozie.wf.rerun.skip.nodes=action1,action2,action3 where http://localhost:11000/oozie --> host where Oozie is running 14-20090525161321-oozi-joe --> is your Oozie Job name action1,action2,action3 --> are the steps that you want to skip. It is eventually doing the same thing as mentioned in the article, but with this, we don't have to create the config file. Cheers, Sagar ... View more
