How to Manage Idempotence at the Partner Link Operation Level

To manage idempotence at the partner link operation level:

  1. In Oracle BPEL Designer, double-click the partner link that includes the operations for which to manage idempotence.
  2. Click the Idempotence tab of the partner link.

    By default, all operations are selected to be idempotent in the Idempotent column.

  3. If you want to define an operation to be nonidempotent, deselect the Idempotent check box for that operation. Figure 8-2 provides details.
