• A number of jobs are executed in sequence.
• If one or more jobs fail with return code 1 then the jobs should be repeated for a number of times. For any other non-zero return codes the order should be put to a failed state and should wait for user intervention, for example to resume or to cancel the failed order.

• After a first job job1, job2 should be restarted for a number of times if it fails with return code 1.
• The JS7 - Retry Instruction manages the retry capability and the intervals.
  • The properties of the Retry Instruction include specifying a common delay for any retries or using individual delays for each retry.
• The JS7 - Try / -Catch Instruction 
  • executes any number of instructions and jobs within the Try Block.
    • if the jobs complete successfully then processing will continue after the Catch Block.
    • if jobs fail then the instructions and jobs inside the Catch Block will be executed.
