how to get ACK message on a file

Mahmoud,

If you are referring to saving the ACK that is coming back on the outbound thread, simply turn on the ‘Inbound Save’ on that outbound thread.  That will save any ACKs returned in the SMAT DB/file.  Then you can simply view it in SMAT or save it to a file (from the SMAT tool) to do with as you wish.

On the other hand if what you want to do is to send the acknowledgments to a file other than SMAT as they arrive, then you would need to set up Route Replies on the outbound thread and route to another thread.

A note here; the Route Replies in some releases of CL will only route back to the sending thread – not what you want.

If that is the case with the release you are on, then what I have done is to make a copy of the message which I OVER so it ends up on the inbound side of the outbound thread then do a Route Data from the outbound thread (don’t forget to KILL the original acknowledgment). This needs to be done in Tcl.

Of course you may need to adjust your acknowledgment handling as well.
