Subject: delivery failure
Someone pointed me to the spot that talks about delivery failure notification. Line 1849-1851 of ver. 1.0 (as published) states "If the Sending MSH does not receive an ACKNOWLEDGMENT MESSAGE after the maximum number of retries, the Sending MSH SHOULD notify the application and/or system administrator function of the failure to receive an acknowledgment." The word SHOULD is incorrect and defeats the whole purpose of reliable messaging. Reliable Messaging guarantees that either the message will be delivered all the way to the receiving application or the sending application will be notified of a delivery failure. The SHOULD in line 1850 must be changed to SHALL. Without guaranteed receipt of a delivery failure notification, the application has no way to determine whether the lack of an application-level response is an application problem or an infrastructure problem. It is then forced to do the whole analysis that it has to do with unreliable messaging. This should be a high priority correction.

Is it one of the SOAP faults? Regards, Marty ************************************************************************************* Martin W. Sachs IBM T. J. Watson Research Center P. O.
