Re: ebBP 3/27/2005: Comment re: Business Retries and Exception Signals(wd10/schema 2-22) [update]

["Monica J. Martin" <Monica.Martin@Sun.COM>]

Update given the clarification from John Yunker:

Section 4.8.2.3
Change from:
The business retry for a RequestingBusinessActivity identifies the 
number of retries allowed in addition to the initial request while the 
time to perform has not been exceeded. The business retry are associated 
with control exceptions such as timeouts. If the number of retries is 
not specified, the parties have not agreed to use a business retry. The 
requesting party may retry as many times as they choose (i.e. it is not 
constrained to a specific number). If a business retry count of 3 is 
chosen (in addition to the initial request), the requesting party MUST 
retry 3 times (no more and no less)......For example, if a business 
retry was not specified and a response was not received, an NOF could be 
issued. If the response is received, it is then ignored because the NOF 
has negated the business transaction.  In another circumstance, if any 
business exceptions (includes negative receipt and acceptance 
Acknowledgments) are signaled then the business transaction SHOULD 
terminate and no business retry SHOULD occur (even if parameter is other 
than zero).
