Retrying problem processes
The process of re-enabling a process (or at least attempting to do so) is called retrying the process.
It is meaningful to retry a process only after you have fixed the problem (or at least believe you
did) by reconfiguring the process, adjusting the flow design, or resolving any relevant issues
outside of Switch.
Automatic retry
The Error Handling user preferences allow automatically retrying a problem process after a
specified time interval. Separate values can be specified for different categories of processes.
Automatic retry is especially meaningful for communication processes since a network problem
is often resolved by external influences.
Manual retry
Switch offers various ways to manually retry a problem process:
• When you select the flow element in the canvas that corresponds to a problem process, the
Retry tool button is enabled. Pressing the Retry tool button retries the process.
• The context menu for the flow element in the canvas that corresponds to a problem process
also offers a "Retry" menu item.
• The context menu for the Dashboard pane provides options to retry one or more of the listed
processes. See Viewing flow problems on page 111.
• When you deactivate and reactivate a flow, all of its problem processes are implicitly retried.
• When you quit and restart Switch, all problem processes are implicitly retried.
