IC89469: SFG SAYS DELIVERY WAS A FAILURE WHEN IT SUCCEEDED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Under current programming of the FileGatewaySendMessage BP and
  the AFTRouteViaCD BP,  it is possible for SFG to sucessfully
  deliver a file via Connect Direct, but mark the delivery as a
  failure. This is the case if the first error showing in the
  Process Flow does not occur until during the Connect:Direct
  Server End Session Service. If there have been no previous
  errors in the Process Flow, then by the time the End Session
  Service starts, the file has already been delivered. Due to
  that a first error during the End Session Service can be
  allowed to still trigger an error, because it is an error, but
  it should NOT trigger any on-screen message that reports that
  the delivery was a failure, nor generate any notification
  e-mail that the delivery was a falure.
  

Local fix

• There is no workaround. The customer has been informed that,
  for the time being, when they receive a delivery failure, they
  should examine the Process Flow, and if the first error is not
  until the End Session Service, they should confirm with their
  Trading Partner whether or not the file was received prior to
  taking any remediary action such as initiating a reply in SFG.
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  All users of FileGateway that use Connect:Direct.
  
  Problem Description:
  It is possible for a message to be successfully sent to via
  connect:direct, but for Filegateway to signal a delivery
  failure.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  All
  

Problem conclusion

• Resolution Summary:
  Changed logic so that if the C:D copyTo step is successful, that
  delivery failure will not be signaled despite errors occurring
  after that step.
  
  Delivered In:
  5010, 5104, 5.2.4.3
