I think you want to modify "execution.retries" in swift.properties.
However, please remember that once a job fails (cannot retry anymore),
he whole workflow stops.

I think you need to change the Swift code to acquire "continue on
failure". Or you might want to "cheat" Swift by adding some trigger
jobs in front of your workflow? Then Swift will send many jobs at once
after those trigger I believe.
