# Interface IExecutionTimeoutBuilder

OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model.Builder.IExecutionTimeoutBuilder

Provides operations for configuring the response when an activity's [ActivityDefinition.ExecutionTimeout](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/ActivityDefinition/) elapses.

Namespace: [OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model.Builder](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model.Builder/)

```csharp
public interface IExecutionTimeoutBuilder : IActivityBuilder, IBaseActivityBuilder, IProcessDefinitionBuilder

## Methods

`IActivityBuilder Retry(int retryCount)` 

Configures [ActivityDefinition.ExecutionTimeout](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/ActivityDefinition/) to retry normal execution of the timed-out activity.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `retryCount` | `Int32` | The maximum number of additional attempts to execute the activity. The value must be greater than zero. |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `IActivityBuilder` | The current builder as an [IActivityBuilder](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model.Builder/IActivityBuilder/) for method chaining. |

### Exceptions

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `ArgumentException` | Thrown when `retryCount` is less than or equal to zero. |

`IActivityBuilder SetActivity(ActivityDefinition activityDefinition)` 

Configures [ActivityDefinition.ExecutionTimeout](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/ActivityDefinition/) to move the [ProcessInstance](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/ProcessInstance/) to the activity represented by `activityDefinition` after a timeout.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `activityDefinition` | `ActivityDefinition` | The target [ActivityDefinition](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/ActivityDefinition/). |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `IActivityBuilder` | The current builder as an [IActivityBuilder](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model.Builder/IActivityBuilder/) for method chaining. |

`IActivityBuilder SetState(string stateName)` 

Configures [ActivityDefinition.ExecutionTimeout](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/ActivityDefinition/) to move the [ProcessInstance](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/ProcessInstance/) to the activity associated with the business state named by `stateName` after a timeout.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `stateName` | `String` | The name of the target business state. |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `IActivityBuilder` | The current builder as an [IActivityBuilder](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model.Builder/IActivityBuilder/) for method chaining. |

## Remarks

Reaching this timeout requests cancellation but does not forcibly stop running work. Workflow Engine waits for that work to finish before applying the configured response.
