Number of Adapter error retries in SP18

[Former Member]

Hi

We recently upgraded XI 3.0 to SP18 - we set the number of retries in the adapter engine ( thru J2EE visual admin - XI Adapter -- custom number of retries ) to 1.

However , I find that in a scenario with the jdbc adapter that creates an error, the number of retries go on and on ( not even stopping at the default setting of 3 ) . Even in the audit log - I do not see the retry count being given after every try - I see that the retries keep going on and on to several pages in the audit log -

Did anybody encounter this basic problem in SP18 - Any correct pointers, solutions, suggestions shared will be rewarded . This is a critical problem and we are under a time constraint in this upgrade.

Thanks for your time in advance.

Hi karthik,

You set the below parameter in Integration Engine and once restart the XI server, I think that will surely solve the problem. And also tell me that have you restarted the XI Server after setting parameter into the J2EE visual admin? If not try out that.

category : Tuning

Parameter : IS_RETRY_LIMIT

Value : 1

SXMB_ADM -->Integration Engine Configuration -->Specific Configuration.

Hi

IS_RETRY is for the Integration server - my problem is with the number of retries on the adapter engine - could you please clarify ?

Karthik,

naveen has discusses the paramter for the adapter engine retires in this blog,

Can you confirm and check if this is what you are trying,

<i>We can achieve this by changing the retry count used by the Adapter Engine, by default its set to 3 times, 5 minutes apart. This count can be changed in Visual Admin->server->services-> SAP XI Adapter: XI.

Here change the number Retries parameter from 3 to 10 and change the retry retryInterval to around 10minutes. For these configuration changes to be picked up, restart SAP XI Adapter: XI.</i>
