multiple exceptions lead to ivy:error:loop

Hi there

We get an "ivy:error:loop" exception by Ivy in a loop. In this loop, we send some ws calls in a Callable Sub. Possibles exceptions are not handled in the Callable Process, but are caught by a "Inscribe Error Boundary Event" on the Callable Sub Element. The loop-exception occurs when we receive an exception (ivy:error:webservice:exception) in this Callable Sub twice.

From our point of view one task could easily receive more than one identical exception during its execution. Ivy should not send a loop-exception in this case.

Why does Ivy react like that? Have we done something wrong?
Is there a solution or workaround for our problem?

You can prevent the error with a work-around:

There is also an issue (XIVY-2219) that asks for API to explicitly reset errors by custom conditions. It's on the roadmap for the next leading edge version - though with low priority and therefore with no guarantee to be included in the next release.

I'd prefer a custom API which allows the user to apply error reset behaviour for his custom need over a fixed scenario. Actually, Ignoring multiple errors of the same type might be a good idea for your situation, but totally unacceptable for other customers. So, if we change it, then with API that allows less more flexibility rather than a general new strategy for all.

My WebService calls are already in explicit callable subs. If I get you right... my Inscribe Error Boundary Event on the Sub Call Element is the problem. I should move even that in a callable sub or dealing with the exceptions in my existent callable process? Anyway, we are looking forward to the API you have planned.

Yes, if you move the exception handling into the callable process: next to the ws-call that causes the issue, then you can brake the loop. To be precise, ws-call activities act as loop breaker for errors that are handled within them.
