Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Decision and method
Define what is preserved during disconnection and how the last confirmed work is identified. A checkpoint should refer to completed operations rather than merely received ones. Plan resumption, gap checking and treatment of changes made while the other system was inaccessible, instead of assuming uninterrupted continuity after the connection returns.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: a connector disconnects after confirming order 480. New orders appear during the pause and an older order changes. Recovering only numbers above 480 would miss that modification. The plan combines a checkpoint with change review and reconciliation covering the affected period, including updates to previously processed business records.
Acceptance check
Interrupt a test before, during and after saving results. Verify recovery boundaries, duplicates and conflicts. Accept when pending work and its resolution can be demonstrated, accumulated volume is visible and manual intervention preserves the evidence needed to confirm that the two systems agree again on the affected business records.
Key takeaways
- Recovering a connection includes reconciling changes, not merely restarting the integration process.
