Synchronous (default)
Asynchronous (see Asynchronous receipt timeout, below)
The following fields are used to determine whether a message send attempt has failed due to a timeout, error, or synchronous MDN receipt failure, or other error, after which EFT Server will attempt to resend the same message at regular intervals, if specified. Because EFT Server is sending the same content, it will resend the same message, payload, and AS2 Message ID.
Message send attempt timeout (seconds)
Optional
Specifies the timeout after which a message send attempt is considered a failure if no response or error is received from the remote server. Range: 0-600, 60 by default, 0 means no timeout
Message send attempt retries
Optional
Number of times to reattempt to send the message. Range: 0 (no retry) to 999, 10 is the default.
|
|
Retries do not include the initial attempt. That is, 10 retries means 10 in addition to the first attempt (11 total). |
Send attempt delay between retries
Optional
Interval between resend attempts. Range: 0 (no wait) to - 600 seconds; 30 seconds is the default
Asynchronous receipt timeout
Optional
Specifies the timeout after which EFT Server determines whether an asynchronous receipt was received. Range: 0 (no timeout) to 999,999 minutes; 7200 minutes (5 days) is the default.
|
|
If the MDN is received after the timeout expires, the MDN is discarded, EFT Server returns an HTTP error code to the sender, and triggers the transaction failure event, if defined. |

Optional
Opens the Custom Command dialog box in which you can specify a Custom Command to occur upon failed send. (Refer to Creating a Command to create a command and refer to Using an Event Rule to Execute a Command (Run a Process) for details of using a Command.)
Transaction SUCCESS run command*
