increase chances of workflow submission

[vlimant]

from time to time we get dmwm/WMCore#12293 but that's a spurious error apparently, as the error will go away with a retry. Therefore I'd suggest adding a sleep(5) and retry there

wmcontrol/modules/wma.py

Line 229 in e1c095f

if response.status != 200:

[vlimant]

or a retry somewhere else of course

Checking the call hierarchy, there is just one active call and it already retries it:

wmcontrol/wmcontrol.py

Lines 587 to 607 in e1c095f

	if test_mode:
	pp.pprint(params)
	else: # do it for real!
	check_keep_output(params)
	try:
	workflow = wma.makeRequest(wma.WMAGENT_URL, params,
	encodeDict=(service_params['request_type']=='TaskChain'))
	except:
	random_sleep()
	#just try a second time
	workflow = wma.makeRequest(wma.WMAGENT_URL, params,
	encodeDict=(service_params['request_type']=='TaskChain'))
	if not cfg.dont_approve:
	try:
	wma.approveRequest(wma.WMAGENT_URL, workflow)
	except:
	random_sleep()
	#just try a second time
	wma.approveRequest(wma.WMAGENT_URL, workflow)
	random_sleep()

I think including more retries spaced by sleeps would not solve the issue.
