Network interruption causes extractor service to fails

Network interruptions can cause the extractor service to fail.

Typically, tasks fail when there are network interruptions, or the Extractor Service is unable to connect to a canister. When a task fails, Unica Discover Session Archiving tries to complete the task a predefined number of times.

  • Errors are reported in the Extractor log and the Unica Discover Session Archiving Tasks log.
  • This number of repeat attempts can be configured through the Extractor Service configuration in Manage Services. For more information, see the Unica Discover Administration Manual.

If the number of failures reaches the limit, then the task is resumed at the next scheduled time.

Note: When a rescheduled task is resumed, the extraction resumes where it left off. For example, if the extraction was midway through the second of three canisters, the sessions in the first canister and the first half of the second canister are not re-extracted.
