Timeout or retry parameter in SOAP sender and receiver communication channel

[Former Member]

Dear Friends,

Is there any retry option in Soap sender or receiver communication channel? For Example, a PI integration scenario is being triggered. But due to some network problem, timeout or any other problem on any side, integration transaction does not complete. How can we put "Retry" option in Soap channels, if in case transaction does not get done due to any problem. I want is that PI system retry again after certain time to complete the transaction. Kindly let me know.

Thanks

Regards

Imran

Hello,

Retry option and retry interval for SOAP CC can be set in the RWB. You can do this by going to RWB -> Adapter Engine -> Communication Channel Monitoring, after filtering the details for your CC, go to the Settings tab and there you will see the Retry option for the CC.

For the timeout option, you can refer to SAP NOTE 856597 - FAQ PI SOAP Adapter Q:Can I configure the timeout value of my receiver adapter?

A: Yes. The default timeout value for outbound calls is 5 minutes.
You can increase this value by setting parameter XMBWS.Timeout in
the module parameter table of the SOAP adapter. The value must be
given in milliseconds. For example, value 600000 represents the
timeout value of 10 minutes. This parameter is not recognized in
systems prior to SP13.

As per Mark's suggestion you can set the Maximum number of retry, set retry interval and set the timeout parameter.

Search on SDN there are lots of threads addressing the similar issue like below.

Usually it is not possible to start retry attempts after certain time. PI will start retrying as per value of three parameters  i.e. Maximum number of retry, retry interval and the timeout parameter value.Share more details of your scenario to find out alternatives if at all this is required.
