ExplanationsExplanation:

• If any of the three jobs within the Retry block fails, then the order will wait for the specified delay and will then repeat the Retry block from the first job node in the block.
• The This example makes use of a maximum of 10 retries tries and an individual delay per retry each being added one more second, which is lengthened by one second with each retry.
• If the number of delays specified is lower than the number of retries tries then the last delay specified will be used for subsequent retries.
