Forge model derivative job failed. What now?

Question

I ran a model derivative job and the status came back: failed. After drilling through the return values, it said that two of the linked dwg files were missing. I added the dwg files, re-zipped and re-uploaded the zip. When I try to run the job, it keeps coming back with the initial failed status. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Assuming you have buckets, on the POST Job endpoint, use the x-ads-force header, if you pass true it will translate again the file.

Answer 2

In hindsight, one could say this is obvious but it isn't spelled out in any documentation anywhere. Essentially, one needs to DELETE the failed manifest and run a new job. There doesn't seem to be any re-try mechanics.
