Handling loss of connection to an application
A good design practice is to code the connector application-specific code
so that it shuts down whenever the connection to the application
is lost. To respond to a lost connection, the connector's
application-specific component should take the following steps:
- Log a fatal error message so that email notification is triggered
if the LogAtInterchangeEnd connector configuration property is set to True.
- Return the APPRESPONSETIMEOUT outcome status to inform the connector controller that the
application is not responding. When this occurs, the process in
which the connector runs is stopped and then restarted automatically.
The following user-implemented abstract methods
should check for a loss of connection to the application:
