oracle fabric invocation exception

Many times when invoking an external web-service from bpel /soa box we encounter this error"oracle fabric invocation exception".

Initially I was stuck how to proceed but there are ways to hit this issue.Actually the error which it shows is very generic one,actually detailed error is some thing else.So try to check your server side/web service which you are calling.


Some of the possible cause for this error is mentioned below :


1>If target service is down many times we tend to get this error.

2>Data validation on target side is another big issue,due to which it returns with this type of error.So to check the best possible option is to-copy the  payload and hit the  target service directly  from Soap UI box or any web service tool to analyze  the exact cause of this error.Errors include - date format,fields required,foreign primary key relation etc.


3>Another best way is to check  in soa server log the detailed cause for  this error.


Happy Programming!!!
