Hi  
In official documentation there is said that there is configurable property asyncExecutorNumberOfRetries [Advanced · Flowable Open Source Documentation](https://www.flowable.com/open-source/docs/bpmn/ch18-Advanced#async-executor-design)  
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`

Cheers,

Hi! Thanks for a quick reply. Seems to be my bad  
I followed this guide [Configuration · Flowable Open Source Documentation](https://www.flowable.com/open-source/docs/bpmn/ch03-Configuration) 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!
