• Key Concepts: 
  Automatic repeat is a feature of the BC-ESI Enterprise Service Infrastructure (ESI) that allows for the automatic re-execution of a service call. This feature is useful when a service call fails due to an error or other issue, as it allows for the service call to be re-executed without manual intervention. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the automatic repeat feature, you must first configure the ESI to enable it. This can be done by setting the “Automatic Repeat” flag in the ESI configuration. Once enabled, the ESI will automatically re-execute any failed service calls. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the automatic repeat feature, it is important to ensure that the service call is idempotent. This means that the same service call can be executed multiple times without causing any unintended side effects. If a service call is not idempotent, then it should not be configured for automatic repeat.
