Is it possible for fail a BOD so it will generate Error BOD?

Kirill Kuchumov

Hi everyone,

I have a data flow in ION, it makes an API call.

Is it possible to force data flow to fail if I receive specific response from API?

I need to force ION to generate error BOD.

Thanks,

KK

Based on the status code you can generate error bod.

or else based on the response, generate a custom notification.

or try a custom policy.

Hi Prabodha,

Thank you for your response.

Unfortunately that API does not return status code.

If I get response below, it means other application is online and I continue my data flow.

If API call returns anything else, I need to error out the BOD.

when the API returns 200 and the payload is empty, based on the payload you can generate a notification. If you are calling this inside workflow just get the value of "application" and generate the response.

if API does not return status code 200, based on the status code generate a custom notification or update Confirm BOD status codes(this will generate Confirm BOD).

But I don't want Confirm BOD, I need Error BOD.

Hi Kirill,

Confirm BOD is an internal ION BOD, you cannot find it in a Data Catalog. But, in the case of an error, the Confirm BOD generates an Error BOD, that can be tracked by a Monitor for example.

So in the solution proposed by Prabodha, when we define a specific API status code to create a Confirm BOD, eventually will be generated an Error BOD, that can be "captured" by a Monitor.
Here are some details: https://docs.infor.com/inforos/2024.x/en-us/useradminlib_cloud/default.html?helpcontent=iondeskceug_cloud_osm/lsm1436532204853.html&hl=confirm%2Cbod

But, as I understood your API does not return a "wrong" code.
Maybe in your case, you can use the "Output Header" mapping. The idea is that you can map a response from the API call to the ION message header and then you can use this header for filtering, routing, etc. in a Data Flow.
More details are here: https://docs.infor.com/inforos/2024.x/en-us/useradminlib_cloud/default.html?helpcontent=iontechconceag_cloud_osm/qat1666081572403.html&hl=output%2Cheader

Kind regards,
