SCBN B2Bi SaaS Essentials (VAN) - CICS - Ability to resend mailbags from the MBER screen.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Ability to resend mailbags from the MBER screen.  The MBER will show expired mailbags - mailbags that haven't been acknowledged by another VAN within the time window.  Van Admin then contacts the other VAN to confirm if they received and processed the mailbags or if they need resent.  If the other VAN says they require a resend, it will save time to allow for an R next to each one to resend it.  If there are numerous mailbags to resend, thus saving time. Currently, it must be done one at a time via either the AUDI screen or in DUB4 depending on the interconnect protocol.

  • What is the problem we are trying to solve?  Not having to manually resend one mailbag at a time and from different screens.  This would give us the function to resend right from the MBER screen.
  •  What is the impact of how it is currently working?  We are required to manually resend one mailbag at a time and go to multiple screens and sometimes Centre to do the resends.
  • What is the desired enhancement?  To be able to resend multiple mailbags from the MBER screen under Action.
  • What is the impact to Customers?  Their data could be sitting there for a while if there are multiple mailbags to be resent and the data would be delayed.
  • What is the impact to Support?  It would save hours of work when there are multiple mailbags that need to be resent instead of having to manually send them one by one.
