Technical Service Bulletin (GXS-AM 110721-01)
GXS Operations Center
6AM ET Thursday, July 21, 2011

Highlight
 

Customers affected: Users of the GXS Information Exchange (IE) application operating on systems USA, EUR, JPN and BRA.

   
  Description

The following Information Exchange features will not be supported or will function differently on the IE Experience.

  • Deliver messages in sequence
    The following option that can be specified in a user profile for an Information Exchange user is not available for an IE Experience user. For users on the IE Experience, this option defaults to N and cannot be changed.

    Deliver messages in sequence? (Y/N)

    Set this field to n for maximum availability of Information Exchange and for best performance. Set this field to y if a trading partner requires mail posted to the mailbox in the sequence it is sent. This option is only available if the sender and the receiver of the message are on the same Information Exchange system.

    This is usually important only if the trading partner is in the process of receiving. Messages not received always appear in the mailbox in the order sent.
  • Cancel command
    The Cancel command option of “t” for acknowledgements to include both header and text information in not supported by the IE Experience. The only options available are “blank” for no acknowledgements for the cancellations of files, or “h” for acknowledgments to include only header information.This parameter is specified by the “ack” parameter on an Expedite Cancel command or in the MSGRCPTS parameter of the Information Exchange Cancel command (SDICNCL).

    Neither Information Exchange nor the IE Experience can cancel intersystem messages. Therefore, an IE Experience user cannot cancel messages sent to Information Exchange or GXS Trading Grid Messaging Services (TGMS) trading partners.
  • Receive-side Carbon Copy processing
    GXS has implemented a change in how carbon copy messages from an IE Experience customer to a GXS Trading Grid Messaging Services (TGMS) trading partner or another VAN trading partner will be processed. If you have receive-side carbon copy or redirect definitions set up to copy an EDI message, currently the sender EDI ID in the copy is kept as the original sender of the message.For mailboxes on the IE Experience, the sender EDI ID in the copy will be changed to be the original receiver’s EDI ID. This change may impact you only if the processing of your carbon copied message is dependent on the EDI sender ID in the message being that of the original sender of the message that was copied
  • VAN Interconnect Trading Partner Setups
    Currently, outside VANS have two interconnect gateways to GXS – one into GXS TGMS and one into GXS Information Exchange, formerly the IBM Advantis VAN. As part of GXS’ continuing effort to unify our customers into a single environment, we are consolidating these interconnect gateways.As result of this consolidation, IE and IE Experience customers will need to contact GXS Customer Support when adding new trading partner information for partners on another VAN or GXS TGMS.
For information on previously announced changes between Information Exchance and the IE Experience, reference the technical bulletins posted on the EDI Support site: https://www.gxsolc.com/public/EDI/us/support/TB/techb_all.html.
