Resend process The following describes the system process that occurs when you resend an
interchange:
Step Action

2Select the outbound interchange that needs to be resent.
3From the Document menu, select Resend.
System response
The system displays the Gentran:Server for Windows dialog box.
4Click Yes to start the transmission session.
Stage Description
1When the resend command is executed, the system first determines if
it is a TRADACOMS interchange. If the interchange is
TRADACOMS, the system increments the current version number in
the FIL segment by one. After this update, the interchange is resent in
the same manner as all other interchanges.
2Communication is established with the remote end. The status of the
message is updated based on the success or failure of the
communications session.
If communication fails because there is no mailbox set up or the
Mailbox service is not started, the interchange and documents are
left in a Ready to send status.
If communication fails because there is no modem, the
interchange and documents are left in a Queued status.
Note
No user action is required at this point. Interchanges that failed to
send are automatically sent as part of the next transmission session.
3The documents are moved to the Out Drawer Browser and the
interchange status is set to Sent.
