Property Value
An Int32 value that specifies the number of times a job step is retried.
Remarks
Microsoft SQL Server Agent job steps are assigned simple logic determining job execution behavior on step success or failure.
If the job step is completed successfully, job execution branches to follow the on-success action for the step. If the number of execution attempts reaches the value of the RetryAttempts property, job execution branches to follow the on-failure action for the step.
When a job step fails, and the step is flagged for retry, SQL Server Agent can pause between execution attempts for the length of time specified in the RetryInterval property
This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
