POS Maintenance - Improvement for handling retries for OrderPaymentJob
An improvement on how faulted OrderPaymentJob executions are handled is implemented. If there is a transient error causing the job to fail, the system now has a new retry strategy, where there is an increasing delay of 10 minutes for An improvement on how faulted OrderPaymentJob executions are handled is implemented. If there is a transient error causing the job to fail, the system now has a new retry strategy, where there is an increasing delay of 10 minutes for each retry. This increases until the configured maximum amount of retries have been attempted, or processing of the order is finished.
This means there's a greater chance that an order failing from a transient error will be fixed by automatic retries.
New retry strategy:
- First retry - no timeout.
- Second retry - 10 minutes after previous.
- Third retry - 20 minutes after previous (so 30 after first in total).
- And so on until maximum number of retries is reached (default 5) or processing is successful.
