API timeout, POST method used

Roche

Hi everyone, 

 

I have a flow in which the Bluesky API is called with the purpose to create enduser ids.  There was nothing wrong with the flow, but it seems like I have run into some issue.  The error message that needs to be resolved is "Error transferring data "http://qa1source:8082/api/Address/Post": Timeout was reached"  This is while the throttle allows 100 records through per minute.

The output from the download tool is as follows, and we can see that only 65 records come through while I ask for 100 in the select records tool above:

Expanding on the download headers yields the following information - not sure if this information will help with the issue.

Can someone please help me resolve this issue? 

 

Thank you,

Sometimes API's fail and it's not because you set something wrong in your workflow.

 

In my other case, I added a Filter after the Download tool to fish out those failed records. Then I pass them through another Download tool (which tries to do the same call again). Then I Union the results together. I have two rounds of this workaround in one of my workflows.
