Batching

In the Batching tab, you can set the transporting gateway.

Trading partner and Gateway level batching is not supported for NAESB.

The following table lists the fields in the Batching tab:

Batching Tab
Field Description
Outbound
Allow Single Transmission for Multiple Exclusively-batched Interchanges

Select this check box to support single transmission for multiple exclusively-batched interchanges.

By default, this check box is cleared.

In the Operations Editor, if you select Exclusively from the Batch Option list for a transaction action, the interchange containing this transaction can only contain this type of transaction. However, you can still put multiple interchanges, each containing a different type of transaction, into a single batch and send it to the trading partner.

This feature and Increment Interchange Control Number by Operation ID for Exclusive Batch are mutually exclusive.

Increment Interchange Control Number by Operation ID for Exclusive Batch

Select the check box to increment interchange control numbers based on transaction types in addition to partner ID qualifiers.

By default, this check box is cleared.

With this feature, you can configure how to increment interchange control numbers based on a particular trading partner, and on the transaction type, such as 850 for a particular interchange or group version. It only applies to the case of the Exclusive batch where an interchange can only contain one type of transaction, and also where multiple interchanges in a single transaction are not supported.

This feature and Allow Single Transmission for Multiple Exclusively-batched Interchanges are mutually exclusive.

Regenerate Control Number For Batch Resend

Select this check box to regenerate control number for batch resend.

  • If you select this check box, a control number is regenerated for all transactions in this batch when resent.
  • If you clear this check box, the already created control number is used for all transactions in this batch when resent.

By default, this check box is selected.

For information about how to override this setting, see TIBCO BusinessConnect™ Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream®, Gateway Configuration, Regenerate Control Number For Batch Resend.

Destination File Mask for Batch Specify the file mask which is used to generate the file name for batch transactions.
Use Transporting Gateway:
Gateway (override scheduler and transport settings)

Specify a Gateway partner name to specify the Gateway transport for this trading partner.

By using the same Gateway transport for multiple X12 trading partners, you can send outbound X12 documents to just one URL and to set scheduling for multiple X12 trading partners in one place. With the batching functionality of the Gateway transport, transactions of multiple trading partners can be batched in a single document and send to the Gateway. In either scenario, the Gateway represents the commercial VANs where transactions are distributed to the target trading partners.

Note: If the Gateway override feature is used, NAESB is not supported and only X12 protocol can be used.
