Description

It has been determined that, when there is an error during the upload process mostly in opencast side and in this case, when opencast throws "Forbidden" error during the upload to put the video in the assets. Then it results in a bunch of faulty events in opencast without any video but the same metadata. And that is because the cron job does not handle the error properly and processes the faulty job once again in the next iteration.

Solution

• Provide a setting to limit the number of iteration after an error occurs: setting it as 0 will result in removing the job directly after the error!
• Log and inform admin about the situation
