Automatic recovery for critical failures such as database failures

We have an SFG/B2B environment installed on Linux/AIX machines and in tests simulating the loss of the database we noticed that after the database becomes operational, SFG/B2B does not recover, making it necessary to perform a STOP/START of the product.
Therefore, we suggest that an agent be added to manage the SFG/B2B and to notice critical failures like this in the database, thus making the STOP/START automatically.
This agent could be configured to perform a specific product action, run a script, configure how many attempts it could make to restart the product, and the interval between attempts.

    This is really important, whenever there is a failure with the database for a long period, some BPs remain false Active and the application needs to STOP/START for the Recovery process (BP Recover.bpml) to execute correctly.
