Defining the Scheduled Delivery Queues
To create a scheduled delivery queue, define a public queue in My webMethods. The following table describes information that you need to supply when defining the queue.
For more information about creating public queues, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
Public Queue Setting
Description
Queue name
The name you want to give the scheduled delivery queue. For example, if you are defining a queue for EDI documents for which the receiver is CYG Company, you might set the Queue Name to "CYG Queue."
Delivery service
The delivery service you want to associate with the queue. Select EDI Batch.
Note:When you install Module for EDI, the Module automatically registers the wm.b2b.editn:batchProcess service with Trading Networks as a scheduled delivery service and assigns it the name EDI Batch. You assign the batchProcess service to a scheduled delivery queue by selecting EDI Batch for Delivery Service.
Inputs
The inputs for the batchProcess service. When Trading Networks invokes the batchProcess service, Trading Networks passes the inputs that you specify in these input parameters. For more information, see the description of the wm.b2b.editn.batch:batchProcess service in webMethods Module for EDI Built-In Services Reference .
State
The state of the queue. Select Enable, Disable, Drain, or Suspend Delivery. For more information about these states, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release.
Schedule
When you want Trading Networks to invoke the batchProcess service to act on the EDI documents in the queue you are defining. When defining a schedule, consider how often your trading partners, VAN, etc., should receive the batch EDI documents.
Note: It is recommended that you do not set up private queues for EDI batching because of the limitations that private queues pose. EDI batching with private queues results in EDI documents always going to a specific receiver's queue because you define private queues in a trading partner profile.
