Challenge

Find out what happened when the connection failed.

A production update fails, but nobody knows whether the receiving system saved it. GTMI follows the information between systems to find what went wrong and establish a safe way to recover.

Recovery behaviour belongs in the interface contract.

From production event to confirmed transaction
Recognise the problem

When systems disagree about a transaction

Production and enterprise systems may disagree about what happened. The operator sees an error while the receiving system has accepted the transaction, or the line continues with data that does not reach quality. When nobody can establish the transaction state or who owns the fault, support falls back on manual workarounds.

What GTMI would examine first

The transaction boundary

01

Production event

Capture the source data and transaction identity.

02

Local record

Persist the state needed for recovery.

03

Delivery

Apply the agreed retry and escalation rules.

04

Acknowledgement

Confirm what the receiving system accepted.

Follow one failing transaction

We trace the production event through the interface, middleware, network boundary, and receiving system. Logs, source data, acknowledgements, and support history show where state becomes uncertain. The review checks certificates, authentication, version changes, and the assumptions each system makes about the other.

Make failure behaviour part of the contract

Define what acknowledgement means, how duplicate writes are prevented, which faults can be retried, and when a person must act. Where the process permits it, a local transaction record, outbox, and worker can separate production execution from later enterprise delivery. The permitted operating and data-integrity behaviour determines the design.

From review to delivery

Test the interruption, then test recovery

Test more than a successful connection. The scope should cover timeouts, duplicate delivery, expired credentials, unavailable dependencies, and recovery after an outage. We pair those scenarios with support ownership and validation impact so the interface can be operated after handover.

The service pages explain the work you can commission, the outputs and how it fits alongside your team.

How we approach this

Take a closer look at the work

See the transaction recovery example

The service explains the contribution and the decisions its outputs support. Where an example is shown, it uses fictional manufacturing data.

Before we start

Should every integration use an outbox?

No. An outbox is one option where the process permits delayed enterprise delivery. The required response time, transaction ownership, and data-integrity constraints determine whether it fits.

Can the review cover an interface built by another vendor?

Yes. We review the available contract, logs, implementation, and support history with the people responsible for each system. Access and vendor cooperation determine how far the assessment can go.

Start with your situation

Start with the flow that causes the most disruption

Describe a recent failure, the systems involved and what support did to recover it. We can discuss whether the first step is a contract repair, a different delivery pattern, or a clearer operational support path.

Contact GTMI

Tell us briefly what you need help with. We can discuss the details and agree the next step. Supporting documents are optional and can wait until that conversation.
