Retries in BPM Send Step

[Former Member]

Hello,

I wouild like to send a message using the send step in BPM to an http receiver. Requirement is, if the http server is not reachable there should be 3 retries and afterwards an error should be thrown.

How would I do this? Do I need three error handler branches, where each of those has the same send step? And then apply a 4th error handler which then terminates the process? I think there should be a simpler solution.

What do you think?

Hi Florian,

I think there is an option "Number of Retries" in the receiver http adapter configuration.

YOu can specify a number 3 there.

Sorry, I was not completely correct. I use the HTTPS protocol but with the AS2 adapter of Seeburger. I have not found any retry functioanlity directly in the communication channel. So probably is has to be done in BPM.

Any advice on how to do this?

If it is As2 receiver, then goto Communication Channel Monitoring, select your channel, then goto Settings tab and you can set the retries.

Hi,

thank you very much for this helpful answer that solved the problem! So I do not have to go for BPM to simulate retries but only have to apply an error handler to the send step.

For http receiver, you will finally receive error message in sxmb_moni (not RWB). If you have standard retry configuration in sxmb_moni, then same would be applied in this case also.
