IDOC adapter Retry interval

[former_member189441]

Hi

I am doing File-IDOC scenario.

For each 5 min there will be new file coming to the FTP folder..sender File adapter needs to pick the file and send as IDOC to R/3.

Each file consist of multiple lines..so i am using IDOC bundling..so for each file i am sending aroung 50 IDOCs at a time toR/3..

I am using BPM for this scenario...( i know we can do this without BPM also...but i have to use BPM..)

if R/3 system is down...then i am waiting for 2 min..and through deadline branch i am canceling the process...assuming that receiver system is down..and throughing alert to support team to intimate the same...

Each adapter is having default Retry interwal...if that adapter fails to send to the receiver...by default it will try for 3 time..with time interwal gap of 5min(i think) between each retry..

For each 5 min i will get a new file...so i have mentioned 2 min for deadline branch...

what happens if the IDOC adapter succeded in seconed attemt.(i mean after 5min) to send to receiver (here R/3)..?

--> i am sending alert to support team...but IDOC has sent succefully..which should not happen..so either we have to decrease the IDOC retry interwal or need to increase the deadline branch inerwal...

Questions:

What's the default retry interwal for IDOC adapter??

Can we decrease IDOC retry interwal time as normal file adapter in Visual admin..??

if i increase the Deadline branch time interwal...it will keep on trying to send first file..so waiting status..if sencond file comes after 5 min...it will also wait status..will there be any problem...??

Thanks

as far as i know there is no retry in case of IDoc adapter.

So you shouldnt be worried about the message getting delivered after subsequent retries.

No. Idoc adapter is not part of Java stack and hence you cant alter any idoc adapter settings in VA.

When the Idoc adapter fails, the message fails in SXMB_MONI unlike other adapters which pass through SXMB_MONI.

So, incase of Idoc adapter the restart depends on the reprocessing the error messages in SXMB_MONI.

Usually the report to restart errror messages in SXMB_MONI is scheduled as a background job.

You need to check for that. But in most cases, the interval is a few hours rather than minutes.
