Hi there, I have a question about message flow.
If a receiving system would be down for some time (say a few hours) the messages are buffered in the recovery database. Say during that time a patient gets admitted (ADT A-01 message). The receiving system does not receive this message so it will be stored in the recovery database. Let’s say a few thousand messages are stored during downtime in the recovery database. When the receiving system gets back online how will messages in the recovery database will be prioritized related to real time messages. Right after the system is online again the patient would be discharged (ADT A03 message) what will be the flow of messages. Will real time messages be halted untill the recovery is empty or would they be processed in parallel. In the last case it would be possible for a receiving system to first receive an ADT A03 and then the ADT A01. So a patient would stay inpatient in that receiving system.
What would then be the best approach to handle a planned outage of a receiving system for a few hours?
