Example: Unstable Network Element Connections

Problem: On an Ericsson network element during activation (after a successful connection and login to the network element has already occurred) the login to the network element is randomly terminated. As an atomic action may be in progress against the network element at the time the connection was dropped it must be placed back in the queue for later activation and the connection must be re-established.

Solution: Configure a user- defined exit type with the RETRY_DIS base type that is triggered when the login prompt is detected during normal activation. This will allow for the atomic action to be retried at a later time after instructing ASAP to disable the current connection. If there is only one connection to the network element then ASAP will eventually re-enable the connection and re-login.
