# Reactivates a Task, allowing it to run again even if its retry count has been
exhausted.

`POST /jobs/{jobId}/tasks/{taskId}/reactivate`

Reactivation makes a Task eligible to be retried again up to its maximum retry
count. The Task's state is changed to active. As the Task is no longer in the
completed state, any previous exit code or failure information is no longer
available after reactivation. Each time a Task is reactivated, its retry count
is reset to 0. Reactivation will fail for Tasks that are not completed or that
previously completed successfully (with an exit code of 0). Additionally, it
will fail if the Job has completed (or is terminating or deleting).
