Workflow retry from step
Hi all!
I’ve been working with workflow component and building a multi-step process. I'm curious about the journaling and retry mechanisms.
For example, let’s say I have 3 actions:
- The first action creates a threadId for an agent.
- The second action uses that threadId to call Gemini via the "agent" component.
- The third action fails 50/50 (for testing).
The response from Gemini is quite large, and I’d like to avoid repeating it if a later step fails. I know there’s a built-in retry mechanism, which works fine, but what happens if maxAttempts is reached and the workflow ends in a "failed" state?
Ideally, I don’t want to repeat the earlier steps. I would like to resume the workflow from the point of failure. Is there a way to manually trigger this kind of retry, for example using the
workflowId? Or would it be better to store the workflow progress in db and check before each action whether that step has already been completed?2 replies
