Spring Data JPA Closed Connection

Question

There is a function which inserts a record in the database with status "Running" at the start then do some long processing and at the end it updates the status to "Success" or "failed".

I am getting an error in the end while updating the status as processing took a long time ( 4 hrs to upload data to third-party app).

    java.sql.BatchUpdateException: ORA-02396: exceeded maximum idle time, please connect again
        SQL: update STATUS set status=?
        o.h.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlExceptionHelper   : ORA-02396: exceeded maximum idle time, please connect again

How I can handle this situation?

Below is my code snippet:

public void upload() {

            entity.setStatus("RUNNING");
            repository.save(entity);

            try {
                //Uploads data to thrid party;
                callingThridPartyApp();
                log.info("Upload successfull.");
                entity.setStatus("SUCCESS");
                repository.save(entity);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                log.error("Upload failed.", e);
                entity.setStatus("FAILED");
                repository.save(entity);
            } 

    }

I solved this issue by stating a new transaction at the end of the long process to update the status in database.

        @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW)
        public void updateStatus(Entity entity) {

                log.info("Upload successfull.");
                entity.setStatus("SUCCESS");
                repository.save(entity);

            } catch (Exception e) {
                log.error("Upload failed.", e);
                entity.setStatus("FAILED");
                repository.save(entity);
            } 
         }
