Common use of Retries Clause in Contracts

Retries. When a workflow has a few input files (it has a few iterations) if something goes wrong or one of this files fails at some point of the workflow there is always the option of running the workflow again. However when there are a lot of iterations running the workflow again is a waste of time and resources. Taverna implements an automatic retry system that allows the designer to configure every web service call in a workflow. In Figure 4 it can be seen how to configure retries for a web service and the parameters involved. The Taverna tutorial has a link to a myGrid video which is very descriptive and helpful to understand how to use the “retry system” in Taverna.
