Specifying retry options
Use this procedure to specify retry options for the Invoke MDM Service activity.
Procedure
- Select Retry task from the checklist.
- On the Retry pane, configure the retry
options for connecting to an MDM Service. Retry options
are described in this table.
Field Description Retry Specifies the number of times that the Integration Appliance tries to run the service when it fails. Wait ___ second(s) between each retry Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) that the Integration Appliance waits before trying to establish a connection to the MDM Service. Try to connect ___ times before failing Specifies the retry count, which is the maximum number of times the Integration Appliance attempts to establish a connection to the MDM Service before recording an error. When the count is reached, processing of the current orchestration job is stopped. If you deploy an orchestration that contains an Invoke MDM Service activity and the Integration Appliance cannot connect to the specified MDM Service, the Integration Appliance logs the connection errors as warnings in the system and orchestration logs until the retry count value is reached. When the retry count is reached, the Integration Appliance logs an error in the system and orchestration logs and the stops processing the current orchestration job.
For example, the retry count is set to 3. The first, second, and third connection errors are shown in the system log as warnings. The Integration Appliance logs the fourth connection error as an error and stops processing the current orchestration job.
Time out after ___ seconds when the Endpoint does not respond to a request Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) before a timeout occurs between the activity making a request on an endpoint and the time it takes the endpoint to respond. For the Invoke MDM Service activity, the timeout is the amount of time that the Integration Appliance waits for a response from the MDM Service after attempting to start the service before the Integration Appliance issues a timeout error. An activity timeout is different from a connection timeout in that an activity timeout occurs after the connection to the endpoint is established. A connection timeout specifies the amount of time, in seconds, before a timeout occurs between the Integration Appliance attempting to establish a connection to the endpoint and the time it takes for the endpoint to respond to the connection request.
Set the connection timeout in the Web Services Endpoint tab. For more information about connection timeouts, see Creating or editing an endpoint for MDM Connector activity.
