Retryable scopes in Oracle Integration Flows

Organization Name

Singhpora Consulting

Description

Various types of connection (DB, FTP, HTTP etc.) invocations often fail for various sporadic environment related reasons beyond our control.

Typically, such failures might be due to factors such as:

• Momentary network connectivity failure
• Target system overload (such as due to too many concurrent invocations)
• DNS failure

For many momentary failures, it is desirable to retry a call a few times before giving up completely (and for the control to be transferred to scope fault handler, global fault handler, or error hospital as normally happens now).  

Proposed retry options

These can be compared with already available endpoint retry options in Oracle SOA Suite or ServiceBus.
