Action Buttons
In the top of the screen you will see different action buttons. These allow you to perform various actions on the currently selected document(s) (they are greyed out if no document is selected). The functionality of each button will be described below.
Show Documents
When clicking this button you will be redirected to the Document search result detail page for the selected document(s) from where you will be able to see detailed information about the document(s).
Resend
You can resend one or more message by choosing one or more rows in the search result and the click on Resend.
There is a walk though all the options under Resend on page Document search result detail under Resend.
Manually Handle
If you press this button, you will mark the selected documents with the ‘Ignored’ status. Nothing further will happen. This is typically used if you don't need the document to be processed anyway.
On hold
This button simply changes the status of the selected document(s) to "On hold". This is convenient when you are in the process of sorting out errors in relation to a failed document, and you no longer want it to appear with status "Failed". E.g. there could be reports or alarms set up in relation to failed documents.
Recreate
Sends a request to the sender system to send the document again. This is useful if you discover that the information in the document is not complete or plain wrong. Note that this button requires a plugin to be implemented - advanced users can read more about how to do this in the Developer - Link section.
Export Files
This button allows you to export the document(s) that you have selected from the list. Note that you can choose to include one or several document stages in your export.
Simply tick the checkboxes corresponding to the desired document stages and click 'Ok' once you're done.
If you're unfamiliar with the concept of document stages and/or the terms "Interchange", "Message" and "CDM", it is highly recommended to read the Document stages section.
Link will now create a ZIP file containing the documents, which you can then download immediately from your browser. This is very convenient when looking for errors or if you would like to take a closer look at some document data in a different tool from Link.
Resend
By pressing the ‘Resend’ button, you will get the opportunity to resend the message.
Resending will force the original message to enter Link once more.
The is a number of options when you are resending.
 | The step from Interchange In to Message In is called disassembling. The Interchange Infile is the file that arrived to Link. If the Interchange In file is a batch file, it will be de-batched in the disassemble step. |
Plain resend
If you don't mark any of the options, the Message In will be resend. (Look at the first screen dump to see where Message In is in the flow)
Resend by interchange
If you mark Resend by interchange, and resending the document(s) the flow will start at from the beginning with the disassembling step. If the incoming file is a batch of documents, the batch will be disassembled and all the document will go through Link again.
If the ingoing message is a EDIFACT, the same interchange number will be reused.
Resend bypass doublet check
If you mark Resend bypass doublet check, the duplicate check will not be executed on this message. That means that although there is a duplicate message to the resend message, you will not get a duplicate error.
Resend bypass test marking
If you mark Resend bypass test marking the document will be processed even though it is test marked. E.g. has Edifact a test mark property.
Resend by document log
The name should have been Resend with document log.
If you mark Resend by document log, an extended logging will be done. This log is called Document Log. This feature is mainly for the developer, who is debugging.
Resend generate new transmission Id
If you mark Resend generate new transmission Id, a new Transmission Id will be generated on the outgoing interchange, which might prevent the receiver from detecting duplicates.
Manually Handle
If you press this button, you will mark the document with the ‘Ignored’ status. Link will do nothing further.
Recreate
Sends a request to the sender system to send a new message. Requires a plugin to be implemented.
Delete
Clicking this will delete the document. A window asking whether you are sure about the deletion will appear. Press 'Ok' to delete the document. You will then be redirected back to the Tracking Search screen. Note that deleting a document is irreversible!
Show raw document details
This will display all technical details about the document. They will not be further explained here.
