Introduction

• The Retry Instruction adds 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

Explanation:

• 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.
• This 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.
