Hi there, fellow ODE user here. I'll try and chime in.
You should be able to recover a BPEL invoke activity using the
following template:
<!-- http://ode.apache.org/extensions/activity-failure-and-recovery.html -->
<bpel:invoke name="emailInvokeSendDeliverTemplate"
inputVariable="variableEmailDeliverTemplateIn"
outputVariable="variableEmailDeliverTemplateOut"
partnerLink="SendPartnerLink" portType="s:SendPort"
operation="deliverTemplate">
<activityRecovery:failureHandling>
<activityRecovery:faultOnFailure>false</activityRecovery:faultOnFailure>
<activityRecovery:retryFor>3</activityRecovery:retryFor>
<activityRecovery:retryDelay>1800</activityRecovery:retryDelay>
</activityRecovery:failureHandling>
<bpel:catchAll>
<bpel:exit name="ExitIfEmailCampaignInvokeFailsToRecover"/>
</bpel:catchAll>
</bpel:invoke>
I'm not familiar with the ODE console, however you have full access to
an instance variables during execution using the supplied
InstanceManagement service. The SOAP service is accessible at
http://ode.local/ode/deployment/services/InstanceManagement Load this
up in SoapUI or similar and explore the various operations.
When an instances terminates/completes, a lot of the useful
information is cleaned up by ODE, see
http://ode.apache.org/instance-data-cleanup.html My recommendation is
to turn off all cleanup locally during testing.
I hope this was useful,
Stan
