Interface: BaseWorkflowOptions

common.BaseWorkflowOptions

Properties​

cronSchedule​

• Optional cronSchedule: string

Optional cron schedule for Workflow. If a cron schedule is specified, the Workflow will run as a cron based on the schedule. The scheduling will be based on UTC time. The schedule for the next run only happens after the current run is completed/failed/timeout. If a RetryPolicy is also supplied, and the Workflow failed or timed out, the Workflow will be retried based on the retry policy. While the Workflow is retrying, it won't schedule its next run. If the next schedule is due while the Workflow is running (or retrying), then it will skip that schedule. Cron Workflow will not stop until it is terminated or cancelled (by returning temporal.CanceledError). https://crontab.guru/ is useful for testing your cron expressions.

memo​

• Optional memo: Record<string, unknown>

Specifies additional non-indexed information to attach to the Workflow Execution. The values can be anything that is serializable by DataConverter.

retry​

• Optional retry: RetryPolicy

Controls how a Workflow Execution is retried.

By default, Workflow Executions are not retried. Do not override this behavior unless you know what you're doing. More information.

searchAttributes​

• Optional searchAttributes: SearchAttributes

Specifies additional indexed information to attach to the Workflow Execution. More info: https://docs.temporal.io/docs/typescript/search-attributes

Values are always converted using JsonPayloadConverter, even when a custom data converter is provided.

workflowIdConflictPolicy​

• Optional workflowIdConflictPolicy: WorkflowIdConflictPolicy

Defines what happens when trying to start a Workflow with the same ID as a Running Workflow.

Note: It is not possible to have two actively running Workflows with the same ID.

Default

{@link WorkflowIdConflictPolicy.WORKFLOW_ID_CONFLICT_POLICY_UNSPECIFIED}

workflowIdReusePolicy​

• Optional workflowIdReusePolicy: WorkflowIdReusePolicy

Defines what happens when trying to start a Workflow with the same ID as a Closed Workflow.

Note: It is not possible to have two actively running Workflows with the same ID.

Default
