[midPoint] errorHandling controlFlow for tasks

[Yakov Revyakin]

Thank you Paul,

Some more info.
UI highlights for "Retry later" in the "Error handling section" that
"Processing of the specified *account* should be retried later."
But my task is "Single bulk action task". There is no work with accounts.
So, the question - Is this option relevant to retry single bulk action
tasks or not?
If not how to reach reliable behavior of recurrent single bulk action tasks?

For example, a task has a groovy script making some Java rest calls.
Endpoint is not available and script raises an exception. The task gets
suspended status. What is the best practice to be sure that after some time
the task will continue its work?

Do I have to process exceptions with try/catch by myself or Midpoint is
able to retry after even RuntimeException?
How to get retries after exception managed - suspend after N retries?

Thanks,
J
