Reprocess SSAS tabular cube after failure

So we process the SSAS tabular cubes every night and the other night the processing of the cube failed. Now what I want to do is implement a system that would trigger an automatic reprocess after failure.

Is there a way to do that in SSAS Tabular?

Nothing built into SSAS will do this. Where do you schedule or automate the processing? Detect an error there and retry on error. – GregGalloway
Right now we have an SSIS package that does that through sql server job agent. – Dennyc

Nothing built into SSAS will automatically restart processing on error.

In SQL Agent, the Job Step Properties dialog has an Advanced tab with a Retry Attempts property. If you change that to 1, then it will automatically retry the step (the SSIS package) if it fails.

If you are doing it in ssis then have a failure constraint looping back to the processing task?

The problem would be if you Have a data error that needs to be fixed.
