Documentation

Definition

Strategy for predecessor determination.

Several ALE distribution units (UPS) can contain interdependent data that needs to be serialized, or posted in the correct sequence.

Use

The following serialization strategies are available:

  • ' '    : No serialization
  • '1'    : Determination by identical packet type

    Any UPS of the same packet type that has already been sent is interpreted as a predecessor. Each of these must be posted in the target system before the current UPS can be posted.

  • '2'    : Determination by identical objects to be imported

    Any UPS that contains one of the objects to be imported (that triggers distribution) is interpreted as a predecessor. Each of these must be posted in the target system before the current UPS can be posted.
