Failed-event locations: Where does the data go?
For all (production and test) recovery activities there are a finite number of locations in the solution where events accumulate.
By adhering to guidelines and preventive measures described in Planning error prevention and recovery, all business events and associated data will reliably accumulate in one of these locations.
If you do not adhere to sound architectural and application development practices, then a percentage of inflight events may end up in an inconsistent state, from which recovery cannot be attained. Under such circumstances, (presumably identified during testing cycles) post recovery investigation and clean up is necessary to correct the issue so that future recovery activities are completely successful.
In order to accurately describe the following scenarios, it is important to put the information in the context of a use case.
- Use case: recovering data from failed events
A use case provides a context for a recovery scenario. In the use case, a business has an application that receives a request to create a new Account.
