Number of async job retries properties

Hi
In official documentation there is said that there is configurable property asyncExecutorNumberOfRetries Advanced · Flowable Open Source Documentation
However, the method to set this property seems to not exist anymore
I haven’t found any information neither in the notes, nor in the documentation.
Could you help please?

Where did you look for the method? It is there in the ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl

github.com/flowable/flowable-engine

modules/flowable-engine/src/main/java/org/flowable/engine/impl/cfg/ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl.java

55960636e


      
          
          public ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl setAsyncExecutorCorePoolSize(int asyncExecutorCorePoolSize) {
              getOrCreateAsyncExecutorTaskExecutorConfiguration().setCorePoolSize(asyncExecutorCorePoolSize);
              return this;
          }
          
          public int getAsyncExecutorNumberOfRetries() {
              return asyncExecutorNumberOfRetries;
          }
          
          public ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl setAsyncExecutorNumberOfRetries(int asyncExecutorNumberOfRetries) {
              this.asyncExecutorNumberOfRetries = asyncExecutorNumberOfRetries;
              return this;
          }
          
          public int getAsyncHistoryExecutorNumberOfRetries() {
              return asyncHistoryExecutorNumberOfRetries;
          }
          
          public ProcessEngineConfigurationImpl setAsyncHistoryExecutorNumberOfRetries(int asyncHistoryExecutorNumberOfRetries) {
              this.asyncHistoryExecutorNumberOfRetries = asyncHistoryExecutorNumberOfRetries;

Cheers,
Filip

Hi! Thanks for a quick reply. Seems to be my bad
I followed this guide Configuration · Flowable Open Source Documentation and used ProcessEngineConfiguration.createStandaloneInMemProcessEngineConfiguration().
in this case the abstract ProcessEngineConfiguration is returned which indeed doesn’t have this method. I probably need to cast the object of configuration created to StandaloneInMemProcessEngineConfiguration

As an idea, maybe this could be improved somehow to avoid the cast or different types of configurations could be mentioned in the doc. Anyway, thanks!
