SOA Suite 12c: Bulk Fault Recovery by Michel van Zoest

In earlier versions of the Enterprise Manager it was already possible to recover faulted instances of web services. Like for instance when a service that the instance depends on is down, the instance will throw a fault and stop processing. When the underlying service is up again, you could go back to the faulted instance and use recovery to have it continue from the step it faulted on.

Now with the introduction of 12c the Error Hospital in the Enterprise Manager supports Bulk Recovery.
This means that it is possible to recover a whole batch of faulted instances with just one click.
A scenario where this can be very powerful is when an underlying service that is used by a lot of other services goes down. For instance a service that calculates foreign exchange rates in a financial system. Or an example I have used in the Oracle SOA Suite Bootcamp in which we built an order system that relies on another service to validate payments.

When I shutdown the ValidatePayment service, the ProcessOrder service will go into fault and needs recovery. Read the complete article here.
