Server script help for outbound call

[Are Kaveri]

Hi,

I have below requirement.

we have a custom table and we are integrating with third party system.

When state is Pending for Int then we are triggering the below assync BR.

  try {

        var access_Token = new global.myIntegrationUtils().getAccessToken('sys_ of oauth', 'name of Application registry');

        var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('restmessage_name', 'RESTMESSAGE');
        r.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + access_Token);

        r.setStringParameterNoEscape('emp_id', current.getValue("employee_number"));
        r.setStringParameterNoEscape('my_id_number', current.getValue("id_number"));

        var response = r.execute();
        var responseBody = response.getBody();
        var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

        responseBody = typeof responseBody == "string" ? responseBody : JSON.stringify(responseBody);
        var SAPresposneToUpdate = httpStatus == 201 ? gs.getMessage('Successfully updated in SAP \n {0}', [responseBody]) : responseBody;


        current.work_notes = SAPresposneToUpdate;
        if (httpStatus == 201 || httpStatus == 200) {
            current.state = 3; // if Success = closing request
            gs.eventQueue('notigy_requestor', current, '');
        } else {
// if there is any error we need to retrigger 
state= 5; // this will be moving to retrigger state
current.id_number = ''; //setting blank to this field
      gs.eventQueue('notigy_grmember', current, '');
        }

        current.update();

    } catch (ex) {
        var message = ex.message;
    }

I am not understanding how to retrigger the Business rule and handle the errors.

errors can be as below:

employee number locked = we will get status code = 400

if we give same id number for 2 request = we will status code= 400

we need to correct this and retrigger.

Please help me if anyone have any idea how to handle error codes and retrigger my Outbound integration.

Hi Kaveri, the httpsStatus variable contains response status. we can use the variable the check the status is 400 or not. Please try it.

var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

Hi Kaveri, Please try using httpStatus variable. It contains status of the response.

var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

Hi Kaveri, Please try using httpStatus variable. It contains status of the response.

var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

Hi @Are Kaveri 

Can you please confirm on this point - We need to correct this and trigger ? Who will correct it ? Whether it will be auto corrected or it's a manual update ?

Do you want to make the REST API call again if you get status code as 400 ? If yes, you can make a function to call your REST API code and call it recursively. You can put a condition that until you don't get the status code as 200, it should try. Please note that you might end up creating an endless loop so you should restrict these calls with maximum number of retry flag.

Thanks & Regards
