Hi,
A customer of ours has been trying to send an attachment with his
edifact message via the PEDI gateway using EDI 2.1c on Alpha VMS. This causes the
transmission file to get stuck in the "identifying" state and causes
the decedi$scheduler process to crash, after which no other
transmission files will go through until we delete the transmission
file using sql. Should this work? I thought X435 supported attachments?
has this been implimented in the PEDI gateway?
Peter.

Peter,
'identifying' is an inbound state, so the customer must be RECEIVING a
X.435 message. We dont quite understand what you mean by attachment? Is
this a multi-bodypart X.435 message ?

Hi Graham,
I apologise for not being more explanatory. What the customer is
actually doing is sending a message from an X400 mailbox to his EDI
system as a test. He basically enters some text, then attaches some
more text and sends this message to DEC/EDI, so yes DEC/EDI is
receiving the message. From what I can ascertain,
the message arrives at the decedi system with two body parts (1 and
14). What he was trying to test, was to see if DEC/EDI could handle an
attachment. So I guess you have answered the question - DEC/EDI does not
support multi-bodypart messages.
What he is now concerned about is, what if a customer accidentally
sends a message like this. Shouldnt decedi just fail the document,
rather than choke on it?
Peter.

Peter,
Any crash, for whatever reason, is just cause for an IPMT.
