Outbound Interchange Entry Dialog Box

The Outbound Interchange Entry dialog box is used to specify a new interchange definition.

This diagram illustrates the Outbound Interchange Entry dialog box with the Advanced options appended.

See the IBM® Sterling Gentran:Server® for Microsoft Windows Communications User Guide for more information.

This table describes the parts of the Outbound Interchange Entry dialog box.

Part	Function
Description	Contains the name of the interchange description.
Standard	Displays the standard the system is using for this relationship definition.
Version	Displays the version of the standard the system is using for this relationship.
Interchange ID	Defines the type of interchange you specified. The standard defines which interchange ID should be used with each standard. This is a mandatory box.
Envelope	Accesses one of the Outbound Interchange Envelope dialog boxes below, depending on which version you specified on the Outbound Relationship Dialog Box. Outbound ISA Envelope Outbound ICS Envelope Outbound BG Envelope Outbound UNB Envelope Outbound UNA Envelope Outbound STX Envelope Outbound VDA Envelope Outbound NCPDP Envelope Outbound Envelope PIP Initiation (RosettaNet only) Refer to Outbound Envelope PIP Initiation Dialog Box for more information on that dialog box or refer to the Partner Editor online help for specific information about the envelope dialog boxes for non-RosettaNet standards. Note: The PIP Initiation requirements vary depending on which version of RosettaNet you are using (1.1 or 2.0).
Use the default Mailbox and E-mail Address	Indicates that the system will use the default Mailbox and E-mail address specified on the Partner Definition (New/Edit) Dialog Box.
Mailbox	Specifies a mailbox to use to identify this partner for RosettaNet relationships.
E-mail Address	Specifies an e-mail address to use to identify this partner for RosettaNet relationships.
New Mailbox	Displays the Create New Mailbox wizard, which allows you to create a new mailbox.
Edit Mailbox	Displays the Mailbox Properties dialog box, which allows you to edit the mailbox.
Content Type	Defines the content type of the interchange.
Set Max Number of Documents per Interchange	Instructs the system to only allow the specified maximum number of messages per interchange for this relationship.
Max Number of Documents per Interchange	Specifies the maximum number of messages allowed per interchange for this relationship. Note: This value is disabled for RosettaNet because only one PIP is allowed per interchange.
Last Used Control Number	Specifies a value that is used to generate the next interchange control number. The number that is generated is always one more than the number in this box. Initially, this box is set to zero.
Expect Acknowledgement	Instructs the system to expect a functional acknowledgement to be received from this trading partner as a result of your partner receiving the interchange set defined in this relationship. The default value for this box is deselected (do not expect an acknowledgement).
Hours Overdue	Defines how many hours must elapse before an expected functional acknowledgement is considered overdue. This box is only valid if the Expect Acknowledgement box is selected. The default value for this box is "48," indicating that the acknowledgement is considered overdue in two days. If you enter a value of zero in this box, the acknowledgement is immediately considered overdue. Note: This box is inactive if Expect Acknowledgement is deselected.
Interchange Transl. Obj.	Allows you to select a partner-specific Interchange Build Map translation object if this trading partner interchange deviates from the normal system behavior. You will select a translation object from this list if you want the system to perform partner-specific interchanging. Important: We strongly recommend that you do not change the translation objects in this list, unless you have a specific reason for doing so. Note: If you are sending streamed interchanges, you should verify that the "RosettaNet1_1 int bld Streaming" build map is selected. If you are sending interchanges that use carriage returns/line feeds, you should verify that the "RosettaNet 1_1 int bld New Line" build map is selected.
Acknowledge Transl. Obj.	Contains an acknowledgement build map if one exists on the system. You select a translation object from the Acknowledge Transl. Obj. list if you have created a specific translation object for this relationship and if you want to change the way the system behaves for this partner interchange. When the system reconciles an acknowledgement, it maps the acknowledgement to an internal file and then processes it. If you need the system to process acknowledgements differently, you should select an additional translation object from the Acknowledge list. Important: We strongly recommend that you do not change the translation objects in this list, unless you have a specific reason for doing so.
