Exception handling: number of retries for async executions

gunnar1 — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 08:43:17 GMT

When setting a service task to asynchronous it looks like in case of an Exception the internal job handler will retry 3 times (?) before giving up.How do I configure the number of retries for async services? What if I do not want to retry at all?What if I want the retry not immediately - but manuall

@Team: How can we configure job execution retry count ?

In the configuration?

Yes, in configuration if possible if not - somehow else.

Actually in Activiti itself that is pretty much hard coded to 3. It should be possible to change that by you with a static property:

JobEntity.DEFAULT_RETRIES = 17;

But it is actually not that nice. In camunda fox we introduced configuration on the level of activities / flow nodes: https://app.camunda.com/confluence/display/foxUserGuide/Custom+Job+Retry+Strategy. I think that is more flexible. So that is always the proof: You can extend the behavior yourself 😉
