Redelivering processed files

Redeliver successful or failed routes to have one or more processed files delivered again. The route processing is not repeated, the files are redelivered according to previous processing. You can select files to redeliver, or redeliver all the files in the list.

About this task

Restriction: Requires Sterling File Gateway Version 2.2.5 or later.

Only files that have had a previous delivery attempt, successful or failed, can be redelivered.

To perform redelivery:

Procedure

  1. Use either Basic Search or Advanced Search. From the Search Criteria tab, enter the criteria for the file or files you want to redeliver.
  2. Click Find to initiate the search.
    Remember: After activity is purged, it is no longer available in the system and are not found in a search that matches the criteria for it. You cannot redeliver messages that are purged.
  3. To redeliver all files matching the search criteria:
    1. Click Redeliver All.
    2. In the Redeliver Arrived File pop-up, you must add a comment about the redelivery. This field is mandatory. Up to 255 characters are allowed.
    3. In the Redeliver Arrived File pop-up, click Redeliver.
    All files matching the search criteria, not just the ones displayed or selected, are redelivered. Information about the redelivery is added to the delivery details of the original delivery. You can redeliver a route any number of times.

    Skip the remaining steps.

  4. To redeliver only selected files, on the Arrived File tab, select one or more files to redeliver.
    • To select a file, click the check box in the first column to display a check mark.
    • To select all files, click the Header check box at the top of the column. All selected files display a check mark in the first column.

    The Header check box displays one of the following values depending on file selections:

    Checked
    All the files are selected
    Unchecked
    No files are selected
    Filled
    Some, but not all, of the files are selected

    If only one file is selected, the Arrived File Events is displayed and Route and Delivery tabs are available.

  5. Click Redeliver. In the Redeliver Arrived File pop-up:
    1. You must add a comment about the redelivery. This field is mandatory. Up to 255 characters are allowed.
      Note: If you are assigned to the File Gateway Admin With No Replay All Permission User Group, then the system does not display Redeliver All in the Sterling File Gateway interface.
    2. Click Redeliver.
      Note:
      Perform the following steps to redeliver a single file that has failed:
      1. Select a file.
      2. Go to Delivery tab.
      3. Right click the file that has failed. Select Redeliver.
      4. Enter an appropriate comment and click Redeliver.

Results

The selected files are marked for redelivery and the actual redelivery occurs the next time the FileGatewayReroute business process runs. By default, the FileGatewayReroute business process runs every five minutes.

Information about the redelivery is added to the delivery details of the original delivery. You can redeliver a route any number of times. Redeliveries create additional events for the original delivery, and do not display as separate routes in the search results page.

When you redeliver a route, the reviewed box is automatically checked. Right-click and select Mark as Not Reviewed to remove the check.

Restriction: If an EBICS transaction is redelivered, the replayed activity will not be noted as being an EBICS transaction, because the EBICS translation activity does not take place in the redelivery.
