Hello,
We have implemented a custom workflow process step to perform an operation against an integration. The particulars aren't important.
Currently, if an error occurs when we call the integration, we throw a workflow exception. This causes the step to be retried (10 attempts), after which the workflow is halted and a the exception is sent to the AEM inbox (/inbox) as a FailureItem.
We wish to change this behaviour so that the process step is tried only once. We wish to make it a graceful failure, submitting a message to the inbox (not an email, just the AEM inbox), but continuing on with the workflow.
We have tried a couple different approaches without luck:
- Using InboxManager (cq-wcm-notification). This seemed like the best approach, but the bundle doesn't export the necessary packages (as described at https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1156802). In that three year old thread, Jorg suggests this may be a bug in 5.6.1, though I couldn't find a published hotfix to resolve it. Is the recommendation still to open a DayCare ticket (or rewrap the bundle with a new manifest)?
- Duplicating the code in HandlerBase/JobHandler (com.adobe.granite.workflow.core) which creates the inbox item after all retries have been exhausted. Again, the bundle doesn't export some of the necessary packages for this.
Is there a simple way to achieve this? Any way to achieve this?
