Hi,

We are using Trading Networks to bring EDIINT data from a WAy Large MARkeTer
into our translator.     The size of the file is approximately 30MB.  This
file is encrypted and it takes approximately four minutes for our platform
to process it and send an MDN back.

The problem is that this WAy Large MARkeTer has its timeout for MDN receipt
set to 2 minutes... and if they don't receive it, they resend the 30MB file.
Every half hour.  For four days, or until it is updated as 'received' on
their web site.

The first time it happened, we received over 50 copies of this file before
we realized what was going on.  Now we know, and we can catch it and flag it
on that merchandiser's web site as being received; but that's a poor
solution to what should be a simple problem to fix.

We have tried to get them to (a) compress the file;  (b) wait for a piddly
little 4 or 5 minutes rather than two for an MDN; (c) or break out the file
because it's acutally a bunch of ST/SE groups within the interchange.  

Currently the answers are No, No, and No;  and
by-the-way-here-you-go-it's-been-half-an-hour-have-another-file.

I'm loath to simply change something in webMethods, or stamp my dainty
little foot and ask for a patch.  Any change in the volume of this
transaction is going to negate any coding changes that we do in Trading
Networks to fix this issue.  It should be fixed at the source, but we're
having difficulty with traction (not that we had any illusion that it would
be easy.)  We are continuing efforts on that front, however.

However, due diligence forces me to ask:  is this a Trading Networks
problem?  Is there someone with that kind of experience?  I'm trying, but my
expertise is Gentran and all those little pictures of coffee cups and stuff
in webMethods Developer get me way confused.

Thanks.  I'm pretty stumped at this point.
