async call using InvokeHTTP

avatar
Explorer

I have an InvokeHTTP processor that calls a long running process.

 

The long running returns an id when called. to check if the long running process ends, I have to call another API with the returned id as argument. If the returned json contains a keyword "completed", I can call another API to get results. 

 

I would like to know how to manage this?

UPDATE: 

I found this little trick but i need some help to understand why it does not work good.

I have a json coming as response from an InvokeHTTP like this:

{
   "id": "1234567890",
   "status": "completed",
   "others": "abc",
   "field": "1"
}

I would like to use a processor (maybe RouteOnAttribute??) that checks if the status of the response is completed and in case of un-match, it goes back to the invokeHttp to check status again.

I tried this thing: EvaluateJsonPath(to extract id from json) -> InvokeHTTP(to get status) -> RouteOnAttribute(to check status if completed)

  • -> match goes to a funnel
  • -> unmatch goes to EvaluateJsonPath again (to create a loop)

For the InvokeHTTP I need the original json file since I have to get the request id.

I used Route to property name with the following attribute: status - ${status:equals('completed')}

unfortunately, I always receive an un-match even if the status is completed.

Where is the issue?

It seems that you were able to split the problem in the two key steps:

1. Define the attribute

2. Route on the attribute

 

First question: Is defining the attribute succesful? Please check your message in the queue directly after doing this evaluatejsonpath. Look carefully (not sure if it is case sensitive/what it does with quotes).

 

Second question: Are you able to make any attribute based routing work? Perhaps just try some things till anything works and see what the difference is with your flow. The only thing I could think of are trivial points such as case sentivity (maybe), or extra quotes/spaces. You may try something even simpler like route if it contains the letter c, for your first test.
