Manually kick off jobs

[sxm20]

Hi There,

In our process definition, we only have service tasks. Each step integrates with third party and hence cant participate in transaction. Hence, to save states after each execution, we make the step async. This all works fine on sunny day. But in case of exceptions, job retry immediately for 3 times (default no. of retries). Can we:
1. Introduce delay between retries
2. Put them for manual verification after retries exhaust
3. Restart the job after some data modification.

2 and/or 3 can be done via the management service api or the explorer webapp

Thanks Ronald, Is it possible to control no. of retries?
How can data be modified from activiti explorer. I only see data in view mode. I am running activiti-explorer as a separate war file (pointing it to same DB as main APP). How would activiti-explorer talk to main activiti process which is running as war in different context?

Hi Shailesh,

Timer Boundary Event at http://www.activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnTimerBoundaryEvent may fit your #1 requirement.

Hope this help.
