Spring Data JPA Closed Connection - spring

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);
}
}
