Communication Control — TCP/IP HL7 V2 Outbound Adapter

The following table lists and describes the properties that appear on the Communication Control page of the Properties Editor accessed from the Connectivity Map. These properties define how data is transferred (that is, sent and received) over the TCP/IP connection.

Table 25 Connectivity Map - Communication Control


Name	Description
Time To Wait For A Response	The amount of time (in milliseconds) that the adapter waits for a response from the external system before taking recourse action (see `Action on No Response` in HL7 Recourse Action). Any data from the external system is considered a response. This property corresponds to the initial read/receive operation timeout. Once a response is received, the subsequent read/receive operation uses the value specified for `SoTimeout` (see Table 17). A value of 0 (zero) indicates an infinite timeout.
Max Empty Read Retry	The maximum number of times the adapter attempts to read data from the external system after the read/receive operation returns nothing. This applies to the read or receive operation after a response starts to arrive. `Empty Read` means that a timeout occurs on the read/receive operation, which uses the `SoTimeout` parameter in the TCPIP Outbound Settings section as the timeout setting (see TCPIP Outbound Settings). The corresponding recourse action is specified by the `Action on Max Failed Read Retry` (see HL7 Recourse Action).
Max No Response	The maximum number of response timeouts the adapter allows while waiting for data from the external system before taking recourse action (see `Action on Max No Response` in HL7 Recourse Action). This property is used in the Collaboration code. It is only used by outbound adapters and works in conjunction with the Resend option of the `Action on No Response` property.
Max NAK Receive Retry	The maximum number of negative acknowledgments (NAKs) the adapter receives before taking recourse action (see `Action on Max Nak Received` in HL7 Recourse Action). This property is used for the outbound Collaboration code.
Max NAK Send Retry	The maximum number of negative acknowledgments (NAKs) the adapter sends before taking recourse action (see `Action on Max Nak Sent` in HL7 Recourse Action).
Max Canned NAK Send Retry	The maximum number of canned negative acknowledgments that the adapter sends before taking recourse action (see `Action on Max Nak Sent` in HL7 Recourse Action). A value of 0 (zero) indicates that the adapter will not attempt to create or send a canned NAK.
Enable Journaling	An indicator of whether message journaling is enabled. To enable message journaling, select `true`; otherwise select `false`. This property is used for outbound Collaboration code.
