Delayed Events Example

Sometimes it is necessary to delay events that arrive until the evening and to synchronize them with a summary document. This use case illustrates some of the B2B Data Exchange delayed processing rules functionality.

Assume that you need to delay all the events of type "Claim" that arrive during the day and process them after 10:00 PM. The events are released by the arrival of a a Claims Summary message. When released, the events are released in groups of ten events.

To implement this scenario, do the following steps:

On the Schedule screen, define a schedule whose start time is 10:00 PM and recurs daily.

On the Profile screen, create a new profile for processing Claim events, and delay rules, as explained below.

On the Profile > Delayed Processing tab, add a Timing Rule using the Scheduling Rule option. Select Daily at 10:00 PM as the scheduling policy for this rule. Specify that if mandatory rules are not met within two hours, wait for the next processing window.

On the Profile > Delayed Processing tab, add a Delay Rule, using the Specific Event Rule option. Use EventType as the attribute name, and Claims summary as its value. Make the rule mandatory.

This rule delays all Claims until an event occurs that has an event attribute EventType with value Claims summary.

On the Profile > Delayed Processing tab, create an additional rule, a Release Rule, using the Max. Volume Rule. Specify Process events in groups of 10. Make the rule mandatory.

Using these delay rules, B2B Data Exchange delays all incoming events that are routed to the Claims profile. Starting at 10:00 PM, B2B Data Exchange evaluates the delay rules once every minute for two hours. If a Claims Summary message arrives, the delayed Claims are released in groups of ten. Any remaining claims are held over until the next business day.
