Does Job Executor launch Service Tasks more than once?

I made process for a user to launch in Explorer that polls for a file until it finds it or exceeds a set timelimit.  I initially used an IntermediateTimerEvent, but I kept getting exceptions that the time was simultaneously updated by another transaction.  So, I wrote a Java class to run in a loop looking for the file, sleeping one minute, and looking for the file again.  The problem I encounter is that about five minutes after the service task is started, it gets started again (presumably by the JobExecutor), and abouit five minutes later it gets started a third time.  All I really need is for the Service Task to be launched one time and for the engine to wait at the Exclusive Gateway that follows the Service Task.

Does the JobExcutor, or the mechanism that launches the Java classes that implement Service Tasks, have retry logic built into it?  If so, how can I control it?  Is that what the documentation below indicates, or is there so other explanation?  Please see the Annotated Log file below.

Here is the BPMN20 file:

This is normal behaviour. The jobexecutor assumes that tasks it needs to run take less time than 5 minutes. If they take longer, it assumes the job is stuck and it re-executes it. Solving the problem the way you do in the java class is kind of wrong… For long running external jobs use the send/receive mechanism.

What is the 'send/receive' mechanism? (I'm running into a problem similar to the one described in this thread – on activiti 5.15.1)

Hello

and how is the reexecution trigger? It it done by setting then JOB.LOCK_EXP_TIME_ to "now + 5 Min"?

Yes, it is. The expiration-time can be altered by overriding the Job-executor. Keep in mind, though, that certain databases have a transaction-timeout that may occur when, when transaction is kept open too long when executing the long-running job.

Hello Frederik,
can you tell me where the DB transaction timeout is configured and how it is set by default for ORACLE.

keymaster, please google for these settings for oracle, presume it's a property in the datasource configuration/jdbc-url…

Hi Fred,

This might a simple question, please do confirm the below.
I hope the above is the case only with the RUN execution task and not for a wait task(Wait Timer Event definition ) as the sole purpose of to to wait for longer durations than 5mins.

wait states (eg receive task) do not keep any transaction open.
