List and process in the same session

Supported Protocols: File, FTP and SFTP

Custom Exception Queue

Oracle B2B enque the exception messages to IP_IN_QUEUE with user as B2BERRORUSER and is always fixed. This feature allows the users to configure a custom queue to receive the Exception messages.

For e.g: if the communication mechanism with backend application is JMS, using the default IP_IN_QUEUE, with B2BERRORUSER might not be a feasible option.

Configuring the following tip.property can enable this feature

oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.CustomExceptionChannel=[internal delivery channel]
