You have been most helpful. Have a wonderful vacation and thank you for your generous amount of time and code sharing.

I have a very good foundation thanks to you.

Richard,

You have done a great job in explaining the good and bad about these types of connections. Thank you for taking the time to make it understandable.

This tcp_acknak.pdl you mention. I do not see it in my directories.  Would you mind sharing??

Thanks again

Richard,

This is exactly what I am talking about. Thank you about the tcp ack nak explaination. It was very helpful. Especially the warning.

Can you please explain how you have configured the sending and receiving data on different ports?

As I understand it, the messages are sent on one port and the acknowledgements on a different. From a recovery perspective, how would the resending of messages work if there is a NAK?

Thank you in advance

Kathy

Implemented quite a few tcp connections. I have never had to discuss the connection acks with other vendors. Only at the application level.

The specifics of naks at the connection level like the Eclipsys folks are implying are completely foreign to me.

Didn’t think recovery_33 had anything to do with it.

You have been very helpful.

Thanks

David,

Now you’re talking !! The delivered protocols handle this ?? Where can I see them to see if they are doing to the vendor wants? Can I modify them??

Specifically when it comes to a negative acknowledgement.  I was under the impression that the “handshake ack” was simply a thank you may I have another message. I did not realize that a negative ack can be sent in the same respect.  Is this related to the recovery_33 procs???

David,

I asked the same question. The encapsulation is the same as any other interface.  This is a Connection Level Acknowlegdement.

The Eclipsys response was there are other accts that interface to SCM using Cloverleaf that can explain it better in a manner I could understand.

I am hoping to get that explaination here.

Thanks
