Kashif Hussain,

If you are working on the same job and the next three schedules are just
for recovery, you can schedule it once a day by setting retry options in
workflow.
User-retry for workflow actions are available since Oozie 3.1 with the
following syntax.

<workflow-app xmlns="uri:oozie:workflow:0.3" name="wf-name">
<action name="a" retry-max="2" retry-interval="1">
</action>
