How to set a Schedule-To-Close Timeout in Java

To set a Schedule-To-Close Timeout, use ActivityOptions.newBuilder.setScheduleToCloseTimeout​.

This or StartToCloseTimeout must be set.

  • Type: Duration
  • Default: Unlimited. Note that if WorkflowRunTimeout and/or WorkflowExecutionTimeout are defined in the Workflow, all Activity retries will stop when either or both of these timeouts are reached.

You can set Activity Options using an ActivityStub within a Workflow implementation, or per-Activity using WorkflowImplementationOptions within a Worker. Note that if you define options per-Activity Type options with WorkflowImplementationOptions.setActivityOptions(), setting them again specifically with ActivityStub in a Workflow will override this setting.

  • With ActivityStub

    GreetingActivities activities = Workflow.newActivityStub(GreetingActivities.class,
    ActivityOptions.newBuilder()
    .setScheduleToCloseTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(5))
    .build());
  • With WorkflowImplementationOptions

    WorkflowImplementationOptions options =
    WorkflowImplementationOptions.newBuilder()
    .setActivityOptions(
    ImmutableMap.of(
    "GetCustomerGreeting",
    ActivityOptions.newBuilder()
    .setScheduleToCloseTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(5))
    .build()))
    .build();
