McKesson Series Transmit Error

[Keith McLeod]

I have some processes I would like to automate but unfortunately they include a series inbound thread to the interface engine.  On the series side it is the TRANSMIT thread for ADT Transactions.  When we bounce the thread on the interface engine, the TRANSMIT thread on series goes to an error status and requires manual intervention.  All other threads reconnect without issue. Does any one know of a setting on Series to allow it to correct itself and reconnect to the interface engine?

I’d like to know how to solve that one too.

Your mnemonic is ITCFM,  7 screens back…. We are not setup this way in production,  however, I tried flipping the bolded parms to Yes on our test box and bouncing.  I expected to have the transmit error out when I stopped the thread on the engine.  It did.  Then after the inbound on the engine was Up I expected the transmit to start up on its own.  It never did.  I think I might run this by McKesson since they are here this week for 11.0 upgrade training.  If I learn something I’ll post it here.
