    MAX RETRIESMaximum number of retries. 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. A high value corresponds to a high number of retrying attempts.
    RETRY INTERVAL 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. Data One automatically selects a Cluster and a STENG to test the connection. Note that a Cluster will be selected only if it is the only one available.
    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 connection might not be successful for different reasons, each of them depending on the transport type and the configuration.
    The first time you try to test the connection, if trusting certificates are missing, an error message detailing the unsuccessful connection will appear. In this case, go to Setup → Untrusted Cache → Certificates tab and trust the relevant certificates.
    Note that trusting certificates in the Untrusted Cache page may not be sufficient to establish a successful connection. Refer to the Untrusted Cache section of this guide for all the details.
