Fault Policy for any fault

Question

Hi,
Is there any way I can write a fault policy in such a way that for any kind of fault, go to human intervention ?
I am excepting something like * in place of fault names.

Hi,
If you are on soa suite 10.1.3.3 or higher you can use the new fault framework. In the directory [oracle_home]/bpel/domains/[name]/config you have a fault-bindings.xml file. Change it contents to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicyBindings    version="2.0.1" xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        <process faultPolicy="MyPolicy"/>
        <partnerLink faultPolicy="MyPolicy"/>
</faultPolicyBindings>Then create a file named [oracle_home]/bpel/domains/[name]/config/fault-policies/MyPolicy.xml and with contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<faultPolicy    version="2.0.1"
                id="MyPolicy"
                xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
                xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/faultpolicy"
                xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Conditions>
    <faultName xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension" name="bpelx:remoteFault">
      <condition>
        <action ref="ora-human-intervention"/>
      </condition>
    </faultName>
    <faultName xmlns:bpelx="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension" name="bpelx:bindingFault">
      <condition>
        <action ref="ora-human-intervention"/>
      </condition>
    </faultName>
  </Conditions>
  <Actions>
    <Action id="ora-retry">
       <retry>
          <retryCount>5</retryCount>
          <retryInterval>4</retryInterval>
          <exponentialBackoff />
          <retryFailureAction ref="ora-human-intervention"/>
       </retry>
    </Action>
    <!-- This is an action will cause a replay scope fault-->
    <Action id="ora-replay-scope">
      <replayScope/>
    </Action>
    <!-- This is an action will bubble up the fault-->
    <Action id="ora-rethrow-fault">
      <rethrowFault/>
    </Action>
    <!-- This is an action will mark the work item to be "pending recovery from console"-->
    <Action id="ora-human-intervention">
      <humanIntervention/>
    </Action>
    <!-- This action will cause the instance to terminate-->
    <Action id="ora-terminate">
      <abort/>
    </Action>
  </Actions>
</faultPolicy>Then restart your bpel oc4j container and all remote and binding faults will result in human intervention.
Kind Regards,
Andre
