Remarks

The retry schedule is for a distributor work item; each work item with unsuccessful deliveries is retried on the specified schedule. During each retry, Notification Services retries only those notifications that have not been sent successfully.

If you do not provide a retry schedule, Notification Services does not attempt to deliver failed notifications.

The RetrySchedule element can contain multiple RetryDelay elements so you can define multiple retry intervals. Each RetryDelay value is relative to the previous delay, not to the original failure time.

Example

The following example shows a RetrySchedule element that sets two retry attempts. The first retry will occur 5 minutes after the initial attempt. If that also fails, another retry will occur 15 minutes after the previous attempt.

<RetrySchedule>
    <RetryDelay>P0DT00H05M00S</RetryDelay>
    <RetryDelay>P0DT00H15M00S</RetryDelay>
</RetrySchedule>
