# Ensuring Reliable Data Transfers: Retry Configuration ### Introduction In data workflows, failures can occur due to network interruptions, server downtimes, or credential mismatches. To address such failures, a retry mechanism is essential—if something fails, the system must automatically retry to ensure successful data delivery. ### Configuring Retry Parameters **Step 1:** In the navigation panel, click **Pipeline**.

**Step 2:** A list of pipelines appears. Click the pipeline you wish to open.

**Step 3:** Click **Destinations**.

**Step 4:** under the **Type** column, you can see different types of databases. These indicate the data storage systems where data from the server will be pushed to the destination. If one of the destinations fails, for example, while transferring data to two destinations, the system will automatically retry the operation for the failed destination until the transfer is successful.

**Step 5:** Click the **Settings** button to configure the retry mechanism for destinations.

**Step 6:** Click **Retry Configuration** to access the retry settings.

**Step 7:** Click the **Edit** button to modify the retry parameters.

**Step 8:** Check the **Enable** checkbox.

**Step 9:** Under **Retry After**, you will see a dropdown with options such as **Seconds**, **Minutes**, and **Hours**. You can enter a number in the **Retry After** field to specify the retry interval. Then, choose whether you want the system to retry after a specific number of seconds, minutes, or hours. For example, if you enter 2 in the **Retry After** field and select **Hours**, the system will retry the operation every 2 hours until it succeeds.

**Step 10:** Under **Maximum Attempts**, you can specify the maximum number of retry attempts. The system will retry the operation until the specified number of attempts is reached, after which it will stop retrying, even if the operation has not succeeded.

**Step 11:** Click the **Save** button to save your retry configuration settings.
