Error code DCTM rest api - Documentum Server down

Srihari S · 2021-05-19T10:07:31+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I have written a custom DCTM rest service(16.4) to connect to Documentum and fetch objectId from DCTM DB.

To test the exception scenarios, In case if the Documentum Content server is down, will the request comes till the session creation and fails there? or will it fail when we hit the URL(post man).

Yesterday, I have tested this by stopping the CS, first two times when I hit the URL, it throws 500 error (Internal Server Error), it actually went to the session creation code and after the next hits, it is throwing 404, E_BAD_Repository_Error(my code is not executing).

In my case, if the Documentum server is down, it should throw 5xx error. Is this achievable?

I know only if the DCTM DB is down, it throws 500 error.

I believe the reason that OOTB the REST api doesnt return 500 is b/c REST api is just a client and Documentum clients can failover to other CS if primary CS is down. If you want 500 to be returned, you will need to customize REST api (ie make your own custom REST services).
