Controlling FA Status for Documents Submitted Multiple Times
Perform the following procedure to control how Module for EDI assigns FA status when you send (or receive) a document multiple times before the receiver returns an FA.
*To control what happens when a document is sent multiple times before receiving an FA
1. In My webMethods: Administration > Integration > B2B Settings > Configure Properties.
2. In the Module for EDI Configuration Properties section, add or update the EDIResolveDuplicates property as follows:
Value
Description
false
When you send a document multiple times before the receiver returns an FA, the status of each document is set to None ("100") in the EDITRACKING table. This indicates that the Module for EDI has not yet received an FA to acknowledge the document.
When the receiver returns an FA for one of these documents, the status of each document is changed to Duplicate (“120”). This indicates that multiple documents exist in the EDITRACKING table that match the FA for this document. This is the default.
Note:
This behavior also applies to documents that you receive.
true
When you send a document the first time, its status is set to None (“100”) in the EDITRACKING table. This indicates that Module for EDI has not yet received an FA to acknowledge the document.
If the same document is sent again before the receiver returns an FA, the status of the first document changes to Duplicate (“120”). This indicates that multiple documents exist in the EDITRACKING table that match the FA for this document. The status of the second document is set to None. This behavior occurs for each subsequent document sent before an FA is returned.
When the receiver returns an FA, the FA will acknowledge only the document that was sent last. The status of the document that was sent last will be set according to the FA status reported in the FA document. The status of all prior documents remains Duplicate.
Note:
This behavior also applies to documents that you receive.
3. Click Save. Module for EDI updates the configuration in memory so the changes take effect immediately and in the WmEDI/config/properties.cnf file.
