Design Problems

Problem

Using a timeout property on loops.

Resolution

You can use a timeout on loops by embedding the loop in a complex activity and then placing the timeout on the complex activity.  

Problem

Processing of data not following the expected flow.

Resolution

Splits and Joins within the business process have expected results based on whether they are OR splits or AND splits. For consistent results, use Split and Join combinations.

OR joins are typically intended to be used only with OR splits. Mismatching the type of join and split may cause unintended behavior, such as processing failing to proceed from an AND join mismatched with an OR split or processing failing to wait at an OR join mismatched with an AND split.

Problem

Cannot connect to the database.

Resolution

Refer to  the documentation provided by the database vendor. For problems with JDBC connection use Sun's FAQ for JDBC at http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/faq.html.

Problem

Unexpected errors when managing endpoints or defining new services.

Resolution

Under certain circumstances, particularly if the Orchestrator tooling has been running continuously for 24 hours or more, you may encounter unexpected errors. Restart the Orchestrator GUI if problems are encountered while managing endpoints or defining new services.

Problem

After copying and pasting resources, such as a map or schema, from one project to another, error messages are generated stating that the resource cannot be found.

Resolution

Rebuild the project by selecting Project > Rebuild Project from the menu. By default, rebuilds are performed automatically when you save resources, however, sometimes a manual rebuild of the project can resolve issues. Rebuild project performs performs a full build of the selected project. That is, it builds (compiles) all resources in the project from scratch.
