Sync-Async bridge: issue with the continuous retry for the failed messages

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Iam trying to build a File-SOAP-File scenario using module beans. I have done following configuration:

1. Created a sender file channel with module configuration as following

1	AF_Modules/RequestResponseBean	Local Enterprise Bean	RR
2	CallSapAdapter	Local Enterprise Bean	0
3	AF_Modules/ResponseOnewayBean	Local Enterprise Bean	RO

RO	receiverChannel	Test_Create_FILE_SND
RO	receiverParty	*
RO	receiverService	QA_999
RR	passThrough	true

2. Classical configuration with synchronous outbound and synchronous inbound interface.

3. Receiver Soap channel without any module configuration

Now the problem is if something goes wrong in the request xml, web-service returns the soap fault error, and then file channel starts to retry continuously at the given polling interval, creating a lot of failed messages. I didn't provide any retry interval in the channel configuration.

I am not sure how can I stop channel from retrying continuously, need your help if something can be done to avoid this situation.

Thanks and Regards,

Shweta Thakur

Hello Shweta,

Does your fault message has a different name?

If yes try configuring the file channel to pick only the success files.

Hello Raghuraman,

I don't want to configure the fault handler, it should fail in case of error.

Problem is in the file sender channel, it retries continuously in case of failures, and each retry generates a new response message, creating a lot of failed messages in SXM_MONI. Ideally there should have been only one response message either successful or in error.

Hello Shweta.

What is the mode in the Sender file channel.

Change it to delete and you can even enable archive faulty source files and mention the directory to archive faulty files.

Sender file channel  archives the filepost processing.

Hello Shweta,

Try doing archive faulty messages option and check once.

Glad to hear.

Hi Shweta,

It is beter to put the modules in receiver channel then up to receiver channel it will be asynchronous only when calling web service is synchronous, if it fails you can restart from there or cancel like normal asynchronous scenario.

Hi Praveen,

I have couple of queries on your suggestion:

1. I am using sync interfaces at outbound and inbound side. If I use modules in the receiver channel, then will it be able to execute the response mapping ?
2. If I create outbound async interface and inbound sync interface, then can I directly route it to the channel without using any response mapping or  can only direct it using the interface ?
