Retry Component Configuration for Integration Adapters
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Integration developers face time-consuming and error-prone tasks when manually coding retry operations for integration components, especially with numerous adapters involved, leading to inefficiencies and potential customer dissatisfaction.
Innovation Solution
An integration modeling design platform allows developers to indicate a retry component via modeling notation, which is then configured and automatically constructed into a runtime representation by an integration generation framework, enabling efficient implementation and configuration of retry mechanisms for adapters and components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If retry operations are manually coded for integration components, then the retry functionality can be implemented, but the development time increases and errors are more likely to occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses templates to define retry operations that can be copied and applied to multiple integration components. Instead of manually coding retry logic for each component, developers can create a template once and reuse it across numerous adapters and components, dramatically reducing development time while maintaining consistent retry functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service through automated template application and configuration. The integration framework automatically applies retry templates to components based on configured rules, reducing the need for manual coding and configuration for each component while ensuring consistent implementation across the system.
2Reliability
If retry operations are manually coded for numerous adapters, then the retry functionality can be implemented, but the complexity of the task increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universal retry templates that can be applied to multiple types of integration components and adapters. A single template design serves multiple functions across different component types, reducing the complexity that would otherwise arise from creating separate retry logic for each component type.
Solution Approach 2:
The retry functionality is segmented into reusable template units that can be independently configured and applied. This segmentation allows complex retry logic to be broken down into manageable, configurable segments that can be applied systematically across numerous adapters without overwhelming complexity.
3Reliability
If manual configuration of retry components is performed, then the retry functionality can be implemented, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Retry templates can be copied and applied to multiple components simultaneously or sequentially, dramatically increasing implementation efficiency. Instead of manually configuring each retry component individually, the template copying mechanism allows rapid deployment of consistent retry logic across the entire integration system.
Solution Approach 2:
The retry templates are prepared in advance with predefined configurations and logic. This preliminary action allows the complex retry configuration work to be done once during template creation, rather than repeatedly for each component, thereby significantly improving overall productivity while maintaining reliable retry functionality.

AI summary
According to some embodiments, methods and systems may be associated with an integration computing environment for an enterprise. An integration modeling design platform may receive, from an integration developer via a modeling notation, an indication that a retry component should be associated with an integration task. The integration modeling design platform may then configure the retry component for the integration task in connection with at least one of an integration adapter and an integration component (e.g., a selection of a messaging component, a quality of service, a retry period, an exponential back off option, etc.). According to some embodiments, an integration generation framework, coupled to the integration modeling design platform, may automatically construct an appropriate runtime retry representation based on the configured retry component (e.g., by creating a domain-specific language software component).
