Workers¶
Workers defines host-level overrides for background job processing. Emakin uses different worker types for activities such as work-item processing, scheduled tasks, XML/full-text maintenance, and email delivery.
When to Use This Page¶
Use this page when default worker behavior is not suitable for your environment and you need to tune retry, timeout, or alert behavior for a specific worker type.
For job-state meaning and background processing context, see Background Jobs.
Warning: Incorrect worker settings can disrupt job processing performance and operational stability.
Settings Reference¶

Maximum Retry Count¶
Defines how many times the worker retries a failed job before moving it to the maximum-retry state.
Retry Period¶
Defines the interval between retries after a failure.
Maximum Retry State¶
Defines the final state applied once the retry count is exhausted.
Error State¶
Defines the state applied when the job fails.
