OE 11.4 Webservice unexpected status 905 when using stop-aft

Posted by sjellin.dovetail on 05-Feb-2016 00:21

Hi All,
  Openedge 11.4 - Linux, batch process.
  Background: Batch process that looks for events and then pushes them
off to 3rd party, periodically hangs while sending.  Client has
unreliable network and I found this KB
http://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/000034154

   I implemented the above and immediately started getting "Error
receiving Web Service Response: Unexpected response status code: 905
(11773)".  Only error-status:get-message(1) has detail, there is no
valid soap fault object.  Note - I run the method with a NO-ERROR and
then check the error-status to check for any soap faults during the
call - The example didn't show this.  Timeout was set to 60 seconds
(STOP-AFTER 60) and then 300 just in case I was doing something stupid
- to no effect.

   I cannot for the life of me recreate this in a simple scenario, BUT
if I remove the suggestions (client connect time out and stop-after) -
the error is gone.

   Does anyone have any suggestions, as I need to find a way to detect
the hung connection/method call :(

Hi Sjellin,

"status 905"  indicates that there was a connection timeout. It is possible that the soap response is taking longer than your timeout value.

Also , notice that , for "-clientConnectTimeout <n>  STOP-AFTER <k>"   n is in milliseconds while k is in seconds.

You can try to use ETIME to find the timeout value to use as shown in the following  example:.

DEFINE VAR et AS INT

DEFINE VAR n AS INT.

et = ETIME(TRUE)

RUN <method> IN <portName>.

et = ETIME(FALSE).

n  = et * 5.

You can now use n as your "-clientConnectTimeout" value and n /1000 as your STOP-AFTER value.
