Change to IB reply proc

[Charlie Bursell]

We are making a change to the HL7 reply proc hl7Raw_ack in release 5.8 so it will not send replies when resending messages through the thread.  As you may well know, as of 5.7, this proc is now released as part of the $HCIROOT/tclprocs directory along with the recover_56 procs.

If you are using this proc, or another acknowledgement proc, in an IB thread and would like to modify it the same way here are the instructions:

In the beginning of the proc, right after getting the message handle:

set mh [keylget args MSGID]    ;# Message header

add this code:

# If this message was resent (as opposed to received

# by a protocol driver), don’t send an ACK.

set flags [msgmetaget $mh FLAGS]

if { “[lsearch -exact $flags is_resent]” ne “-1” } {

   return “{CONTINUE $mh}”

}

Thank you Charlie!

We have been using code to check the PRIORITY value to not generate replies during resend operations.  In our ACK logic, if the PRORITY is not = 5120 we assume that this is a resend event as 5120 is the default.  For resends we have been specifying 5121 to avoid the unwanted ACKs.

Your code is slick and will be used in our ACK procedure.

Not my code, Rob’s code  🙂

Ok… definitely give Rob the credit here!

But thanks for the communication.
