Retrying the flow

By default, when Data Collector encounters a stage-level error that might cause a standalone flow to fail, it retries the flow. That is, it waits a period of time, and then tries again to run the flow.

A stage-level error might include a stage not being able to connect to an external system because the system or network is down.

You can define the maximum number of flow retries that Data Collector attempts.

With the default value, -1, Data Collector retries the flow an infinite number of times. This allows the flow to continue running as soon as any temporary connection or system failures resolve.

If you want the flow to stop after a given number of retries, you can define the maximum number of retries to perform.

The wait time between retries begins at 15 seconds and doubles in length until reaching a maximum of 5 minutes.
