During execution of a process flow, it may happen that an activity at the source or destination fails. There can be multiple reasons for the failure of an activity, causing the process flow to abort. If an activity has been failed during the execution, you can retry an activity execution by configuring the value of the following properties:

• Activity Maximum Retries on Failure 
• Activity Wait Time between Retries 

To handle an activity failure:

1. In Web Process Designer, double-click the activity you want to configure, for example, File Source.  Alternatively, you can click the activity and select View Properties option.
2. The Activity Properties panel of File Source is displayed.

3. In Activity Properties panel, set the values in the following properties:

   Property Name	Description
   Activity Maximum Retries on Failure	Maximum number of retries on the failure of an activity to connect to the server. The process flow resumes, if it finds a connection within the specified retries, otherwise aborts the process flow.
   Activity Wait Time (in seconds) between Retries	Time (in seconds) between successive retries.

   
   
   
   

   In this example, the values for File Source activity specified are:

   Activity Maximum Retries on Failure: 3

   Activity Wait Time (in seconds) between Retries: 30

   During execution, if the File Source activity fails, the process flow will retry three times within every 30 seconds. The process flow resumes, if it finds a connection, otherwise abort after the third retry.  

4. Click outside of Activity Properties window to save the changes.
