Accessing the retry attempt for a failedJobRetryTimeCycle config during execution

[WilliamR.Alves]

Hello my friend! Welcome to community \o

This script that I’m sending below can be used in an execution listner, or in a script task, or even directly in your project’s code (with a few modifications):

var retriesNumber = execution.getProcessEngineServices().getManagementService()
         .createJobQuery()
         .activityId(execution.getCurrentActivityId())
         .singleResult()
        .getRetries();

Although you can execute the necessary logic, I believe you will not be able to “print” the amount of retry in a process variable, for example, because this functionality has been buggy since 2018, I think from what I’ve heard.

In this post below, in the last comment, I talked a little about this subject.

Retry Service Task based on failure after cetain period

Hi, I have a requirement where for each service task if it fails then it will retry for few times after certain interval and then will go to a generic error section for User to fix the issue. Generic Error handling is already done though the process mentioned in Camunda - Generic error handling from service task I am using spring boot and camunda 7.16.0. Example - Start → Service Task 1 ->Service Task 2 → Service Task 3 → End Now if the process fail at Service Task 2 and I throw exception …

But if you just need to run some logic like you mentioned it will work!

I hope this helps!
