Custom Fail Retry configuration

alef — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 11:32:53 GMT

As reported in the docs (http://www.activiti.org/userguide/#failRetry), Activiti, in its default configuration, reruns a job 3 times in case of any exception in execution of a job. Is there a way to change the default value in the Activiti configuration or programmatically, not in every bpmn files?T

Hi alef,

e.g.
org.activiti.engine.ManagementService#setJobRetries

Hi Martin,
I know that feature, but using that API it's not possible to set the time before each retry, but just the retries.

I'm looking for a way to set the time cycle, as I can do in the BPMN with the expression <code><activiti:failedJobRetryTimeCycle>R5/PT7M</activiti:failedJobRetryTimeCycle></code>.
Moreover, I want do that one for all the workflows.

Hi alef,

I did not try it yet. What I would propose is to create and register new FailedJobCommandFactory, which will provide your JobRetryCmd implementation. In this implementation you can use your own definition of retries (e.g. based on the async task model or global engine configuration)
