Re: retrieve order

got to work 5 hours ago and most of my morning has been tied up with MQ and related issues

I am sending this before I get to todays list messages, cause I would like everyone know how we shot ourselves in the foot

it is amazing how close everyone has been on this issue, and have helped me in asking the right questions

just got off a conference call with the vendor

the header, detail, and trailer are all separate messages

we are the only one with that design, all others they serve have the header, detail, and trailer within a message

we have a situation where the channel on the long distance queue appears to be inactive ( not sure if the keepalive parm is set up right)

when this happens the vendor has been known to send a duplicate record

It is amazing what you discover when you ask the right person, so we do not use MSMQ and we create duplicates (not MQ)

here is the touchy part, cause I do not want to get into the same controversy I did with the other spam mail (from the company I can't remember)

but

this system we have was an old product called Marketware that we adapted to what is now called Encore from a company called EPOS

have any of you been involved with any of these

I have recommended that we switch to a single message so the monster program that needs the info in a specific sequence doesn't have to change right away

and I would like to know if this is a good direction
