Acknowledgement events

The cm3rinac and cm3tinac event registrations are used as acknowledgement events to synchronize the unique numbers of each system when Service Manager is used with an external system.

Event Code Input/Output Event Map Application Description
cm3rinac Output cm3ack axces.write Used for changes.
cm3tinac Output cm3ack axces.write Used for tasks.

Both event types use the cm3ack event map definition. The following table shows the mapping passes the fields in the external information string (EIS) of the eventout record.

Sequence Field description
1 The change or task number of the object being acknowledged.
2 The foreign ID. This is the identifier of the change or task used by the external system. This field is used if a different number is used outside of Service Manager.
3 Action Token indicating which action was performed on this object (open or update, for example).
4 The status of the eventin record created by the original event. This field may be used to determine if there were any errors encountered when processing the original event.
5 An array of up to five messages sent during the original event (example: Change 15 updated, Location XXX is invalid). These messages can be used to determine if a Format Control or validation error occurred during the original event.

The acknowledgment events can be turned on or off in the cm3rin or cm3tin Event Registration records by modifying the value associated with the boolean1 parameter on the application tab. When this parameter value is set to true an acknowledgment event is sent out each time an input event is processed, while a setting of false keeps the acknowledgment event from being sent.
