Event error handling

WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software provides error handling for inbound ALE events by logging the errors and attempting to restart the event listener.

When the adapter detects an error condition, it performs the following actions:

  1. The adapter logs the error information in the event log or trace file.

    Log and trace files are in the /profiles/ profile_name/logs/ server_name path of the folder in which IBM BPM or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus is installed.

  2. The adapter relies on SAP JCo's retry handling to restart the JCo Server.

    • The adapter stops the server after the SAP JCo Server tries again for the specified RetryLimit value as specified in the activation specification.

    If the retry interval does not behave as specified in the activation specification, download the latest SAP JCo 3.0.6.

  3. If all the retry attempts fail, the adapter logs the relevant message and CEI events, stops message end points and stops trying to recover the ALE event listener.

    You must restart the adapter or SCA application in this case.

  4. If all the retry attempts fail, the adapter logs the relevant message and CEI events and stops trying to recover the ALE event listener.

    You must restart the adapter or SCA application in this case.
