PINNED Add support to controllerWorkflow script to restart BPs that are in "completed, error" state by individual BP IDs
During system issues, we are unable to bulk restart the BP IDs at a time. This is causing huge support effort in the clean-up process. Existing controllerWorkflow.sh script doesn't have a solution to restart the BPIDs that are in "completed, error...
PINNED Present Multiple Host Keys - RSA and ECDSA
As with standard Linux servers today Secure Proxy should be able to present Host Keys (more than one) in both RSA and ECDSA formats depending on what type the vendor incoming connection supports. Vendors are demanding Host Keys that are stronger t...

WTX Type Tree needed for X12 6020 275 (X314 TR3 for HIPAA)

We have a need for a type tree for the X12 6020 275 transaction. Specifically the HIPAA voluntary TR3 X314 implementation. It is a HIPAA transaction, though not mandated, but the HIPAA Pack doesn't have a tree.

Provide support for VDA version 03, and incorporate into EDI standards

Provide support in SB2BI for VDA version 03 - currently only version 02 is supported. In addition, these would ideally be incorporated into existing EDI standards for use in the SB2BI map editor, similar to how X12 is handled.

WTX MQ Adapter command does not allow BOQNAME definition

In the WTX MQ adapter command list, there is no BOQNAME command to define the back out queue name. And the -EQN may not have the same results as BOQNAME. This is a request to create the -BOQNAME in the WTX MQ adapter command.

SPE.encode() translates a document and wraps the X12 output in ST/SE, GS/GE, and ISA segments. This means that to be compliant the translated output must fit within a single transaction set and a single functional group,which does not follow the H...

Enable wildcard MSL with multiple Launchers as with single Launcher

When setting up a single Launcher source directory there is no need to specify which MSL files to run. The single Launcher event will go to the assigned directory and find/run all MSL files found. This is effectively a wild card usage of *.msl. We...

Additional performance related timing data required in the audit log on a per-card basis

A change that I would love to see in audit logs is a start time and an end time for each card.  The current way of showing timings at the card level – with a “TimeStamp” at each card – is very confusing.  I get the idea that th...
