  • 1.  Identifying connection timeouts on Invoke action

    Posted Tue April 08, 2025 09:21 AM

    Hi

    Wondering if is it possible to identify when the backend has had a connection timeout error (ie. processing exceeded the configured timeout settings). It appears this is thrown as a ConnectionError which isn't really granular enough for what I would like.  Are there any context variables which may indicate that it was a connection timeout as opposed to something like connection refused?

    Thanks,
    Brendon

    Hi Brendon

    I wanted to check if you were able to find a solution for your use case. I'm currently trying to implement something similar and would really appreciate it if you could share any approach or workaround you discovered. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Karthikeyan,

    I've been retired from IBM now for over a year now and I don't have any recollection of any context variable that would provide this information, but then again my knowledge is getting dated by the day :-) Hopefully an active product developer can provide an answer if anything has been added since I left.

    Best Regards,

    Steve
