Number of Retries on Failures (Environment setting)

Tools that honor the Number of Retries on Failures environment will retry the same worker process a specified number of attempts when there is a failure processing a particular job.

Usage notes

  • Occasionally, failures are encountered when running parallel raster analysis jobs.
  • For example, if the tool is running with a custom Python raster function code, failures can be caused by third-party Python code, such as memory errors when the worker process is processing a particular section of an image.
  • Having the worker process retry a particular section can recover analysis jobs.

Dialog syntax

  • Number of Retries on Failures—The number of retries that will be attempted when a worker process fails. The default is 0.
