Apply Retries For Document Status API in Collection Webhook

  • we upload a document in Watson Discovery Collection.

  • Document gets processed by Watson Discovery

  • Once it gets available, document status is received on the registered url in collection

  • As informed by IBM dev team(Added attachement for Dev Team Response in the case)

    • When they get 5XX, they retries the request along with back-off time

    • But when they get timeout, request cancelled, they don't retry it internal

    • Retries should be applied on all failure cases except bad request, because the server could be overloaded where API will get hit, retries will prevent the failure in most of the cases.

    • Since there is no retries, currently document status are required to sync manually

    Please apply retries in document status webhook url in all failure except bad request
