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

To set a Schedule-To-Start Timeout, use ActivityOptions.newBuilder.setScheduleToStartTimeout​.

• Type: Duration
• Default: Unlimited. This timeout is non-retryable.

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()
                          .setScheduleToStartTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(5))
                          // note that either StartToCloseTimeout or ScheduleToCloseTimeout are
                          // required when setting Activity options.
                          .setScheduletoCloseTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(20))
                          .build());

• With WorkflowImplementationOptions

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