Configuration of the Generic Execution Engine

Configure the Generic Execution Engine via Symfony configuration files. Default configuration:

pimcore_generic_execution_engine:
    error_handling: 'continue_on_error'
    execution_context:
        default:
            translations_domain: admin

Error Handling Behavior​

Two error handling strategies are available:

  • continue_on_error - Job execution continues even if a step fails.
  • stop_on_first_error - Job execution stops on the first step failure.

Set the global error handling strategy (used as fallback for all job runs):

pimcore_generic_execution_engine:
    error_handling: 'stop_on_first_error'

Execution Context​

Define custom execution contexts to override the translation domain or error handling strategy per bundle or job run:

pimcore_generic_execution_engine:
    execution_context:
        my_custom_context:
            translations_domain: my_custom_domain
            error_handling: 'continue_on_error'

Pass the execution context name when starting a job run:

$jobExecutionAgent->startJobExecution($job, $owner, 'my_custom_context');

The execution context sets the translation domain and error handling strategy for that run. By default, the admin translation domain is used. For error handling, the global configuration (continue_on_error) serves as fallback. Currently, only the translation domain and error handling strategy support per-context customization.
