Tps Save Ob Msg (Previously Called Save Ob Msg 33)

RESEND.DOC Page 4 of 4

This document describes how to configure an outbound interface thread on the Cloverleaf interface engine to resend outbound messages. The following procs will be used:

·  tps_save_ob_msg (previously called save_ob_msg_33)

·  tps_resend_ob_msg (previously called resend_ob_msg_33)

·  tps_check_reply (previously called check_reply)

·  tps_kill_ob_save (previously called kill_ob_save_33)

·  hcitpsmsgkill

Use hcinetconfig to configure the outbound thread (we will use ob_gepacs_3326 as an example)

Save_ob_msg_33

·  sets $ob_save global which can be used by resend_ob_msg_33

·  does not return the message to the engine, so the message is in state 14, and will be resent by the engine if the thread gets recycled

resend_ob_msg_33

·  resend message by putting the message in the outbound queue by setting the message disposition to PROTO and message_handle to the save $ob_save global set by save_ob_msg_33. This causes the message to be placed in state 11 and makes it the first state 11 message that will go out)

·  Note: resend_ob_msg_33 will resend indefinetly if no ACK or NAK is received

check_reply

·  CONTINUE the reply if it is an ACK

·  Assumes NAK for any reply received that is not an ACK

·  If the reply is not an ACK then continue to resend for MAXTRIES (defaults to 3 tries)

·  After MAXTRIES resends has occurred then

·  Dump message and NAK reply to a unique files in ’thread_name’_NAK subdirectory in the process directory ($HCISITEDIR/exec/processes/ob_gepacs_3326_NAK); automatically creates the directory if it does not exist

·  Turn off alerts for this thread ( touch $HCISITERDIR/Alerts/ob_gepacs_3326.off)

·  Append a time stamped entry to alerts log file ($HCISITEDIR/Alerts/ob_gepacs_3326.log) describing the problem

·  Page the email addresses specified (defaults to {EMAIL page_hub_team})

·  Stop the thread

kill_ob_save_33

·  Null $ob_msg global set by the save_ob_msg_33 proc

·  KILL $ob_save message which is in state 14

·  CONTINUE the reply on to the next procs (hcitpsmsgkill)

hcitpsmsgkill

·  KILL reply
