Add a setting to allow the job to be retried on failure x number of times. We have some jobs that fail due to timeout, and running the job a second time doesn't experience the same timeout issue. It would be nice to set that on the schedule. I am assuming the future automation section of server could be able to address this type of request as well.


Merged Ideas:

Add Retry Times option to Schedules in FME Server by takashi on March 9, 2018

Some kind of scheduled jobs could fail because of an external reason. e.g. a case where an external server which manages resources for the job is busy at the moment when FME Server access the resources.

In order to be able to recover such a failure as soon as possible, it might be useful if the schedule setting would have an option to set the number of retries and their time interval in the case where the job failed.

We have made some improvements to FME Server Automations and the 'Run a workspace' action.

If you use Automations to setup your schedule, there is a new "Retry" tab for each workspace action that you can configure! Check out this screenshot from FME Server 2021: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11SsSW-JvzLmfo5m7FA306vJ0pb2lZb4d/view?usp=sharing
