Managing Ensemble Productions - InterSystems Documentation

Configuration Settings
Larger numbers are not necessarily helpful; while the potential pool sizes actually range from 0–100, most pool sizes
are best set to either 0 or 1, and there can be serious consequences when sizes are set to a number greater than 1.
Important:
When you disable a business process, it must have a Pool Size = 1 or greater if you want all instances of
only this business process to stop. If the business process has a Pool Size = 0, the action disables all business
processes that share the actor pool. See the Pool Size section in the “Production Concepts” chapter of
Developing Ensemble Productions for details.
Specific Settings
Under Specific Settings, there may be additional fields you can configure. This depends on the details of the business process
class. Most business processes have the following settings:
Reply Code Actions
Retry Interval
Comma-separated list of code-action pairs, specifying which action the business process takes on receipt of various
reply status conditions.
See Reply Code Actions Setting for details.
Number of seconds to wait between attempts to connect to the output system.
Alert Retry Grace Period
You can configure business processes with an Alert Retry Grace Period during which errors do not trigger alerts,
even if Alert On Error is True. This grace period accommodates a business process that attempts a connection with
a configured Retry Interval and Failure Timeout. During its retry sequence, the business process may encounter
failures that become unimportant after one of its retry attempts succeeds. Thus, if a business process first
encounters an error, but later achieves success within the time allotted by the Alert Retry Grace Period, no alert is
triggered even though an error occurred.
Failure Timeout
Total number of seconds to keep trying to connect with the output system. After this number of seconds has
elapsed, the business process returns an error code.
5.2.5 Business Operation Settings
When you select a business operation in the configuration diagram on the [Ensemble] > [Productions] > [Configuration]
page, the runtime settings for this business operation display in the lower portion of the page. For the most part, these settings
describe how the operation communicates with the specific external entities to which it sends requests.
Specific Settings
The configuration page permits you to view or edit the following Specific Settings for the outbound adapter associated with
a business operation:
Adapter Class
The class name for the outbound adapter associated with this business operation, or if there is no associated
adapter class. This field has a gray background because it is read-only. Its value is determined by the business
operation class definition.
