Hi Sam,

Business Exceptions should not be a part of the retry logic fundamentally as most of the times they are some issue related to our input data, or some business rule in the process that might require a manual correction or a business justification to be not considered as an exception in the first place. We should ideally only retry those exceptions which can be solved with a purpose driven retry unlike retry those exceptions where human judgement is usually involved.

Hi Sam,

Business Exceptions should not be considered for retry. Business Exceptions are known exceptions which are expected to occur during the process run if there's any deviation from the set rules defined for the automation. These exceptions should be agreed with the business/user during the requirements gathering phase and there should be a clear path to follow in case a Business Exception occurs (usually a termination depending upon the requirement).
