UPOC protocol in 5.8.4

[David Barr]

I’m trying to implement error handling in an outbound UPOC protocol thread in 5.8.4 on Linux. The documentation says the following:

Quote:

When you use KILL, the message will be sent to the Send Fail TPS. If you do not have any code in Send Fail TPS or it returns a CONTINUE, then the message will be re-queued (State 11) at the top of the queue for re-delivery. If you do not want to retry, then use ERROR inside the Send Fail proc.”

Now I think the “KILL” in this documentation should be “ERROR” because returning a “KILL” will crash the process with an invalid disposition error. However if I return an ERROR disposition my Send Fail TPS is not being called. The message is resent every 10 seconds, and I want the message to go straight to the error database without retrying.

Hi David,

Our experience is that the UPOC protocol (in Write mode) is not very “stable”. I advice that you call your proc in OB TPS, in this case you could use KILL, ERROR, CONTINUE,… (with this solution, the message will not be send to the Send fail proc)

Thanks for the reply. I just had another idea that works. I can generate a TCL error in my write TPS proc and that causes the message to go to the error database.
