Sun Adapter for TCP/IP HL7 User's Guide

Communication Control — TCP/IP HL7 V3 Inbound Adapter

The following table lists and describes the properties that appears 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 38 Connectivity Map - Communication Control (V3)

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 TCPIP Inbound Settings). 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 Server Base Settings section as the timeout setting (see TCPIP Inbound 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 inbound Collaboration code.  

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 inbound 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).

This property is used in the inbound Collaboration code. 

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 inbound Collaboration code.
