Note: this component is designated "advanced", which means that objects of this type are not expected to be created or altered in most environments. If you believe that such a change is necessary, you may want to contact support in order to understand the potential impact of that change.

Note: this is an abstract component that cannot be instantiated.

Recurring Tasks encapsulate the information to be included in administrative tasks that are to be invoked on a recurring basis within the server. Recurring Tasks must be included in a recurring task chain to actually be scheduled for processing.

cancel-on-task-dependency-failure

Description
Indicates whether an instance of this Recurring Task should be canceled if the task immediately before it in the recurring task chain fails to complete successfully (including if it is canceled by an administrator before it starts or while it is running). If this is true, then the instance of this Recurring Task will also be considered a failure (with a state of "canceled before starting"), and if that instance is itself a dependency for any other Recurring Task instance, then that dependent task's cancel-on-task-dependency-failure property will be used to determine whether it should be canceled or preserved.
