It would be nice if there was a setting in the /formsconfig where we could have a setting to tell Forms to wait x minutes before automatically retrying suspended instances.
We have added this feature to our to do list.
For suspended instances, there is usually something wrong that need to be fixed first, then can run successfully. If retry suspended automatically, it will get error as well. Can you share with us what is the use case for this feature request?
We recently had an issue where the Workflow service on the Workflow server did not restart correctly after a server reboot. This caused instances in multiple Processes to go into a suspended state. After getting the Workflow service started, I then had to go into each process and retry all suspended processes. It would be nice if there was a way to tell the system to just retry all suspended processes in situations like the above.
We will evaluate the possibility for supporting this, thanks.

I would like the ability to set this retry timer on a per activity basis. Some items we would not want it to retry and instead just automatically skip past the issue and move onto the next task. Other's we might want it to retry every 1 minute for 10 tries. Other's we might want it to retry every 1 hour for 3 tries.
It would be nice to have the flexibility on a per activity basis to manage how they handle being suspended. Essentially a "Try Catch" like we have in Workflow so we can automate/manage suspended tasks more efficiently and minimize end-user impact.
