    def response = context.expand( '${TestStep_101#Response}')
def holder = new com.eviware.soapui.support.XmlHolder(response)
if (holder) {
   def isRetry = true

            log.info "Since the value is success, setting value of isRetry to false"

This has probably been resolved and moved on from long ago, but this sounds like a perfect use-case for my flow-plugin that contains the Repeat Test Step. 

 

It makes use of testStep status so you can make an assertion that tests for this.

The repeat test step would test it a finite amount of attempts and let the test through when all test steps pass. 

 

Hope it helps!
