        WorkflowOptions.newBuilder()
                .setWorkflowId("YourWF")
                .setTaskQueue(WorkerGreet.TASK_QUEUE)
                // Set Workflow Run Timeout duration
                .setWorkflowRunTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
                .build());

WorkflowTaskTimeout

Set the Workflow Task Timeout with the WorkflowStub instance in the Client code using WorkflowOptions.Builder.setWorkflowTaskTimeout.

• Type: time.Duration
• Default: 10 seconds.
• Values: Maximum accepted value is 60 seconds.

//create Workflow stub for YourWorkflowInterface
YourWorkflowInterface workflow1 =
    WorkerGreet.greetclient.newWorkflowStub(
        GreetWorkflowInterface.class,
        WorkflowOptions.newBuilder()
                .setWorkflowId("YourWF")
                .setTaskQueue(WorkerGreet.TASK_QUEUE)
                // Set Workflow Task Timeout duration
                .setWorkflowTaskTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
                .build());

WorkflowIDReusePolicy

• Type: WorkflowIdReusePolicy
• Default: enums.AllowDuplicateFailedOnly is the default value. It means that the Workflow can start a new run if the previous run failed, was canceled, or was terminated.
• Values: AllowDuplicate allows a new run independently of the previous run closure status. RejectDuplicate doesn't allow a new run independently of the previous run closure status.

```java
//create Workflow stub for GreetWorkflowInterface
GreetWorkflowInterface workflow1 =
    WorkerGreet.greetclient.newWorkflowStub(
        GreetWorkflowInterface.class,
        WorkflowOptions.newBuilder()
                .setWorkflowId("GreetWF")
                .setTaskQueue(WorkerGreet.TASK_QUEUE)
                // Set Workflow Id Reuse Policy
                .setWorkflowIdReusePolicy(
                        WorkflowIdReusePolicy.WORKFLOW_ID_REUSE_POLICY_REJECT_DUPLICATE)
                .build());

RetryOptions

Set Workflow Retry Options in the WorkflowStub instance using WorkflowOptions.Builder.setWorkflowRetryOptions.

• Type: RetryOptions
• Default: Null which means no retries will be attempted.

//create Workflow stub for GreetWorkflowInterface
GreetWorkflowInterface workflow1 =
    WorkerGreet.greetclient.newWorkflowStub(
        GreetWorkflowInterface.class,
        WorkflowOptions.newBuilder()
                .setWorkflowId("GreetWF")
                .setTaskQueue(WorkerGreet.TASK_QUEUE)
                // Set Workflow Retry Options
                .setRetryOptions(RetryOptions.newBuilder()
                .build());

CronSchedule

Set the Cron Schedule with the WorkflowStub instance in the Client code using WorkflowOptions.Builder.setCronSchedule.

Setting setCronSchedule changes the Workflow Execution into a Temporal Cron Job. The default timezone for a Cron is UTC.

• Type: String
• Default: None

//create Workflow stub for YourWorkflowInterface
YourWorkflowInterface workflow1 =
    YourWorker.yourclient.newWorkflowStub(
        YourWorkflowInterface.class,
        WorkflowOptions.newBuilder()
                .setWorkflowId("YourWF")
                .setTaskQueue(YourWorker.TASK_QUEUE)
                // Set Cron Schedule
                .setCronSchedule("* * * * *")
                .build());

Memo

• Type: String
• Default: None

//create Workflow stub for GreetWorkflowInterface
GreetWorkflowInterface workflow1 =
    WorkerGreet.greetclient.newWorkflowStub(
        GreetWorkflowInterface.class,
        WorkflowOptions.newBuilder()
                .setWorkflowId("GreetWF")
                .setTaskQueue(WorkerGreet.TASK_QUEUE)
                // Set Memo. You can set additional non-indexed info via Memo
                        .setMemo(ImmutableMap.of(
                                "memoKey", "memoValue"
                        ))
                .build());

SearchAttributes

Search Attributes are additional indexed information attributed to Workflow and used for search and visibility. These can be used in a query of List/Scan/Count Workflow APIs. The key and its value type must be registered on Temporal server side.

• Type: Map<String, Object>
• Default: None

private static void parentWorkflow() {
        ChildWorkflowOptions childworkflowOptions =
                ChildWorkflowOptions.newBuilder()
                        // Set Search Attributes
                        .setSearchAttributes(ImmutableMap.of("MySearchAttributeNAme", "value"))
                        .build();

The following Java types are supported:

• String
• Long, Integer, Short, Byte
• Boolean
• Double
