10/4/2004: NOF -or- General Exception

["Monica J. Martin" <Monica.Martin@Sun.COM>]

One note for Friday's meeting: we recognize that under specific 
circumstances either an NOF or general exception may be sent. They MAY 
include:

    * Notification of Failure (NOF)
          o When you are not under control (i.e. you are waiting for a
            business message or a signal) but the transaction should
            stop. This equates to "failed business control".
          o You choose not to business retry (and you can retry).
          o In several circumstances is time based
    * General exception
          o When you are under control
          o You have isIntelligibleCheckRequired and an RA has been
            sent, but something fails in processing. This is assuming
            that an AA is required, processing has begun but not
            completed, and an AA has not yet been sent.
          o You don't require isIntelligibleCheckRequired and an RA has
            been sent, but something fails in processing. An AA may or
            may not be required later.
          o You don't have signals required and you need to notify your
            partner of a problem.

Just some random initial thoughts from Hima and I as we think through 
this prior to Friday's meeting. Thank you.
