Outbound tab

This table shows the configurable parameters on the Outbound tab:

Parameter Description
Hold This holds any outbound messages, depending on thread type, including ACKs.
TPS Outbound Data Click Edit to open the TPS Editor. Then, click Add to open the TPS Properties dialog box. Select the procedures or Java class and arguments for outbound data messages. This TPS is used to post-process the outbound data messages after translation but before being written to the connection.
Retries This is the maximum number of times to attempt transmission of an outbound message to the destination thread. A retry happens when a protocol write fails.
  • 0 is the initial transmission only.
  • 1 is the initial transmission plus one retry.
  • -1 is unlimited retries.
Interval This is the number of seconds to wait between each retry.
Send OK Procs Click Edit to open the TPS Editor. Then, click Add to open the TPS Properties dialog box. Select the procedures or Java class and arguments to run upon successful transmission of the outbound message to the destination thread.
Send Fail Procs Click Edit to open the TPS Editor. Then, click Add to open the TPS Properties dialog box. Select the procedures or Java class and arguments to run upon unsuccessful transmission of the outbound message to the destination thread. An unsuccessful transmission happens when the number of retries fails. All retries and forwarding threads are exhausted before a transmission is treated as failed.
Prewrite Procs Click Edit to open the TPS Editor. Then, click Add to open the TPS Properties dialog box, from where you can select the procedures or Java class and arguments. These procedures provide user-control immediately before the protocol write happens.

The only dispositions permitted in the prewrite are CONTINUE and KILL.

Forward Thread Click List to open the Threads list box. Use the list box to select the thread to serve as an alternate destination for the outbound messages. The engine first exhausts the permissible number of transmission retries to the primary destination thread before forwarding the message to the alternate thread.
EDI Batch Click the arrow to select the format from the list. Then, click Edit to open the batch configuration dialog box. The creation of a batch is triggered by a Message Count or an Interval.
