Purpose

• Add error handling to a number of job nodes in a workflow.
• If one of the jobs in the "Retry" block fails, then the order is moved to the begin of the "Retry" block to repeat execution.
• The number of retries and the respective delays are configured with the Retry Instruction.
• If the maximum number of retries is reached and a job in the "Retry" block fails then the order is considered being failed.

Workflow Instruction: Retry

• Download Workflow Example: pdwReTry.json

Explanations:

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