This field will appear only if you have set the maximum numbers of retries to 1 or greater. Time (in seconds) waited before retrying executing a job. The lower the value, the more frequent the retrying attempts. If this field is empty or set to 0, no retries will be executed and the job will be set to Failed if the first attempt is not successful.

CONFIGURATION TEST

Use this section to test that the Cluster and the STENG are connected correctly. Select a Cluster and a STENG you want to test and click the TEST button. A message with a green check will confirm a successful connection. A message with a red exclamation mark will warn about an unsuccessful connection. The message also details the reason why the connection fails. The first time you try to test the connection, if trusting certificates are missing, a generic error message will appear. In this case, go to the Setup β†’ Untrusted Cache β†’ Certificates tab and trust the 3 Google certificates that are listed. If you now test again the connection and you see the same error message, the trust anchor file (or root file) is missing. This file must be asked to the Administrators of the Google Storage site. The file must be imported into the Setup β†’ Trust Store β†’ Certificates tab and clicking the Import button. Information on how to trust and import certificates is available in the relevant sections of this documentation.
