Retry PDF conversion when it fails
From #500 (closed)
Audrey Hamelers @audrey · 2 weeks ago: Right now, when there is an error, it becomes a manual process through the front end. The old system does make a certain amount of automatic retries for some errors. This PDF service is a new one and so that isn't in place for this, but we could add it in if that seems like a good idea. @nmarinos ?
Nikos Marinos @nmarinos · 2 weeks ago: Sure, we could add, say 3, retries. I am not sure when I will be able to do it though. Perhaps @yroochun can help us when she is available.
Koosum Y Roochun @yroochun · 2 weeks ago: We are thinking of adding a new column in the manuscript table that will store the number of attempts in case of error and let the job continue making deposits for up to 3 times.
Koosum Y Roochun @yroochun · 1 week ago: Issue has been resolved but has been pushed to a new branch: pdf-conversion-retry-yroochun.
Me and @nmarinos both agree that this can be tested after the first release. So the new branch will be merged with dev after the 1st of May.
