Scheduled Transmission Tab

Use the Scheduled Transmission tab to schedule the transmission of outbound batches for this Gateway transporting partner. One X12 trading partner can use a Gateway transporting partner or multiple partners can share a Gateway transporting partner to send transmissions to a VAN.

Gateway-partner settings always override the trading-partner settings. If multiple trading partners use one Gateway partner for transmissions, check for any conflicts between the Gateway-partner settings and the individual trading-partner settings and determine how best to proceed.

By default, transactions are transmitted to your trading partners immediately after they are processed by TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition EDI Protocol powered by Instream. Using the options in the Scheduled Transmission tab, transactions can be scheduled to be sent:

Only during a specified time period
Only on certain days of the week
Only on certain dates

If you use this tab to control when messages are transmitted, you can use the Log Viewer to view, submit manually, and delete queued messages.

Scheduled Transmission Fields
Field	Description
Enable	Enable this configuration. The transaction will not route through the Gateway if this check box is not enabled.
Transmission Mode	The type of the transmission schedule: Everyday, Days of Week, Specific Dates. The selection determines which of the other fields on the tab are used.
Start Time	Defines the start of the transmission window.
End Time	Defines the end of the transmission window.
Frequency	How often to group transactions into a single interchange and send them to trading partner. The transmission window specified for scheduled transmissions still applies when you select a frequency. When the transmission window opens, pending transactions for this trading partner are grouped together and sent at the frequency selected. The frequency you specify is applied to the scheduled transmission start time. The first transmission will be at the scheduled transmission start time. Each subsequent transmission will be at the start time plus the frequency interval specified. For example, if the start time is 9 AM. and the frequency is Every 30 mins, then the first transmission will occur at 9:00 AM., the next transmission will occur at 9:30 AM., and so forth.
Transaction Control Threshold	Limit the number of transactions in an interchange. If scheduled transmissions are enabled, entering a number will cause the following to occur when the transmission window is open: If the number of transactions to be sent to this trading partner reaches the number specified in this field before the next transmission time is reached, all transactions up to the number specified will be grouped together into a single interchange and sent to the trading partner. If the next transmission time is reached before the specified number of transactions are ready to be transmitted, the transactions that are ready will be grouped together into a single interchange and sent to the trading partner. When scheduled transmissions are enabled, the transmission time is always based upon the starting time.
