Transmission Acknowledgment configuration parameters

The following table shows the configuration parameters that are required by the transmission acknowledgment task.
Table 1. Transmission Acknowledgment configuration parameters
Parameter Required Default Description
Gateway outgoing directory Yes None The directory where Gateway Server gets the transmission acknowledgment files to be processed. The directory must exist in the file system and be no more than 256 characters long. For example, the directory structure of this path is /opt/ibm/ftm/runtime-processing/outbound/source.
Transmission Definition Yes None A valid transmission definition name from an existing configuration.
Working Directory Yes None The directory where the transmission acknowledgment files are created before they are moved to the Gateway outgoing directory for processing. If this directory does not exist during configuration, it is created. The directory specification must be valid for the file system and be no more than 256 characters long. For example, the directory structure of this path is /opt/ibm/ftm/services-engine/working
Environment Identification Text No No environment identification text An optional string to identify the environment. This parameter is combined with the system property instance name and placed in the transmission acknowledgment XML. If this parameter is left unspecified, only the system property is used in the XML. The environment identification text must be no more than 256 characters long. For example, 
*** PROD ***

     or

*** TEST ***
Transformation Stylesheet No No transformation stylesheet The XSL transformation stylesheet used to convert the standard transmission acknowledgment XML file into a different format. If an XSL transformation file is not specified, the resulting transmission acknowledgment file contains the default XML format. The entire path to the file must be specified, no more than 256 characters long, and the file must exist in the file system. For example, the directory structure of this path is /opt/ibm/ftm/services-engine/task-config
Errors Displayed No 500 The maximum number of errors to present in the transmission acknowledgment file. It keeps the errors that are reported by transmission acknowledgment to a reasonable limit for batches (ICLs) that contain many errors. It must be a valid, positive integer value in the range 1 - 2,147,483,647.
Errors Per File Displayed No 10 The maximum number of transmission level errors to present for each transmission record in the transmission acknowledgment file. It keeps the errors that are reported to a reasonable limit when there are many errors. It must be a valid, positive integer value in the range 1 - 2,147,483,647.
Errors Per Batch Displayed No 10 The maximum number of batch (ICL) level errors to present for each batch (ICL) record in the transmission acknowledgment files. It keeps the errors that are reported to a reasonable limit when there are many errors. It must be a valid, positive integer value in the range 1 - 2,147,483,647.
Errors Per Bundle Displayed No 10 The maximum number of bundle level errors to present for each bundle record in the transmission acknowledgment files. It keeps the errors that are reported to a reasonable limit when there are many errors. It must be a valid, positive integer value in the range 1 - 2,147,483,647.
Errors Per Item Displayed No 10 The maximum number of transaction level errors to present for each transaction record in the transmission acknowledgment files. It keeps the errors that are reported to a reasonable limit when there are many errors. It must be a valid, positive integer value in the range 1 - 2,147,483,647.
Acknowledgment File Extension No .xml Extension to use for the acknowledgment file.
Acknowledgment Route File Extension No .rte Extension to use for the acknowledgment route file.
Acknowledgment End-of-File Extension No .eof Extension to use for the trigger file that indicates the data file is ready for processing.
Scheduled Transmission Acknowledgment No false Set this parameter to true to send acknowledgments for transmissions on a fixed schedule. If set to true, changes might be required to the default Transaction Server scheduler XML file. When you register the task, make sure that the task is allowed to be scheduled.
Scheduled Batch Acknowledgment No false Set this parameter to true to send acknowledgments for batches (ICLs) on a fixed schedule. If set to true, changes might be required to the default Transaction Server scheduler XML file. When you register the task, make sure that the task is allowed to be scheduled.
Delay (in seconds) for sending transmission acknowledgment No 60 Delay, in seconds, for sending acknowledgments for transmissions. This delay allows time for the transmissions and their batches (ICLs) to be fully loaded and also to group multiple acknowledgments in a single scheduled run of the task.
Report Accepted Batches false true Set this parameter to false to exclude batches (ICLs) from the acknowledgment. Batches (ICLs) that have a condition of accepted and are also in the complete status are excluded. Set this parameter to true to include all batches (ICLs) in the acknowledgment, regardless of their batch (ICL) status. The default is true.
Maximum Batches to Report false 500 The maximum number of batches (ICLs) to include in the acknowledgment. When acknowledgments are created for transmissions with numerous batches (ICLs), this limit helps keep the acknowledgment to a manageable number of bytes in size.
