TCPIP Outbound Settings - Client Connection Establishment — TCP/IP HL7 V3 Outbound Adapter

The TCPIP OUTbound Settings - Client Connection Establishment section defines configuration parameters used for controlling the connection establishment. These properties are only used when the Connection Type is set to Client.

This section of the TCP/IP HL7 V3 outbound adapter Connectivity Map properties contains the top-level parameters displayed in this table:

Table 103 Connectivity Map - TCPIP Outbound Settings - Client Connection Establishment

Name 

Description 

Required Value 

Time To Wait Before Attempting Connection

Specifies the length of time (in milliseconds) the adapter waits before attempting to connect to the external system. 

An integer indicating the length of time (in milliseconds) that the adapter waits before attempting to connect. 

The configured default is 0.

Always Create New Connection

Specifies whether the adapter always attempts to create a new connection when a connection establishment request is received. 

  • True indicates that the adapter always attempts to create a new connection without attempting to match an existing connection.

  • False indicates that the adapter attempts to match an existing connection (managed by the container).

Select True or False.

The configured default is False.

Auto Reconnect Upon Matching Failure

Specifies whether to attempt to re-connect automatically when the adapter gets a matching connection from a container, even though this connection is not valid due to various reasons, for example, the external side of the connection is closed/reset due to the external application’s logic. 

  • True indicates that the adapter discards the invalid matching connection and automatically attempts to reconnect using a new connection.

  • False indicates that the adapter does not automatically attempt to reconnect using a new connection: instead, the adapter defers the reconnect control to the user Business Rules. The user must detect this type of failure and act appropriately.

Select True or False.

The configured default is True.

Max Connection Retry

Specifies the maximum number of times the adapter attempts to connect to a specific external TCP/IP destination (host/port) before giving up. 

An integer indicating the number of times the adapter will attempt to connect. 

The configured default is 3.

Retry Connection Interval

Specifies the length of time (in milliseconds) the adapter waits between attempts to connect to a specific external TCP/IP destination (host/port). 

An integer indicating the length of time (in milliseconds) that the adapter waits between attempts to connect. 

The configured default is 30000 (or 30 seconds).
