  • 1.  Continue to next policy if backend doesn't respond in time in invoke policy

    Posted 07/08/24 06:46 PM

    I wonder if there is any possibility to skip and not throw any error even if backend is not available in APIC V10. Right now, the invoke policy is going to default catch block if the backend is unavailable. I've tried Stop On Error too.

    Hi Tanuja,
    I can think of two options as of now.
    1. Create custom error handler block to provide proper response as required.
    2. Use url-open module and handle the errors in the script for a required response.

    Hi Tanika, 

    Stop on error is how this is handled. Ensure you specify ConnectionError which is thrown when the backend is not available. Also specify OperationError which is thrown if the backend responds with a non 200 HTTP status code, and if you're invoke is sending a SOAP request, a fault will return a SOAPError.
