Scheduled Transmission
In the Scheduled Transmission tab, you can specify when transactions are transmitted to this trading partner. The settings in this tab interact with the settings in the Batching tab in the Operations Editor.
For more information, see Batching Tab in Outbound Action Tab.
By default, transactions are transmitted to your trading partners immediately after TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol powered by Instream processes them.
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.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable | Enable this configuration |
| Transmission Mode | Specify the type of the transmission schedule: Everyday, Days of the Week, or Specific Dates. The selection determines which of the other fields on the tab are used. |
| Start Time | Define the start of the transmission window. |
| End Time | Define the end of the transmission window. |
| Days of the Week | Specify the days of the week that messages are transmitted. Used when the mode is Days of the Week. |
| Frequency |
Specify how often to group transactions into a single interchange and send them to trading partner. The frequency you specify applies to the scheduled transmission start time. The first set of transmissions are at the scheduled transmission start time. Each subsequent set of transmissions are at the start time plus the frequency interval specified. TIBCO BusinessConnect Container Edition continues sending transmissions at regular intervals based on the value in the Frequency field until the transmission window closes. For example, if the start time is 9:00 AM and the frequency is Every 30 mins, the first set of transmissions occur at 9:00 AM, the next set of transmissions occur at 9:30 AM, and so on. If you use a Gateway (override scheduler and transport settings) field (see Batching ), the frequency setting in the Gateway General tab overrides any value in this field. |
| Transaction Count Threshold |
Limit the number of transactions in an interchange. The minimum value is 1. If scheduled transmissions are enabled, entering a number causes the following situations to occur when the transmission window opens: • 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 are 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 are be grouped together into a single interchange and sent to the trading partner. If you use a Gateway in the (override scheduler and transport settings) field (Batching ), the Number of Transactions Reached setting in the Gateway General tab overrides any value in this field. |
| Scheduled Dates |
Specify the list of dates when transmissions occur. Used when the mode is Specific Dates. Click Add to add a specific date. |
