when i try to run only one failed report in a job. It runs entire job (all the reports in a job) instead running only the failed report. The way i am trying to run the failure report in a job is 

i go to Manage> Administration Console> Status>Past Activities>Status-Failed>Select the job which shows failed and go to view run history details>Then click on Action to see the report which failed and then click on Action and click on rerun the failure report only. But when i do that, it runs all the reports in that job. Instead of running that failed report only. 

Is there any better way to achieve to run only a failure report in a job . 

Thanks 

That's not normal behaviour.  When you rerun a failed report in a job, the entire job appears in the console but only the rerun report should actually run. You should be able to confirm this by looking at the rerun job.

We've had this issue since we went to 11.1 and now we're on 11.2.4.5 and still have the same issue.  Doesn't matter whether the reports are set to run sequentially in the job or all at once.  Makes it really frustrating when just 1 report fails due to a glitch or database deadlock and the job it's in has lots of reports and sub-jobs with more reports.

By this time it's now a "feature" of Cognos.
