You can enable request-level Reliability Availability and Serviceability (RAS) granularity for HTTP, IIOP, optimized local adapter, and certain MDB requests by defining RAS attributes in the workload classification document. With request-level RAS granularity, you can specify RAS attribute values for specific requests, such as a unique dispatch timeout value for all HTTP requests with a URI that ends in .jpg.
