New feature: Communication Channel Testing

We're excited to launch a new feature in Orderful: Communication Channel Testing.

For each inbound HTTP or AS2 Communication Channel connected to your internal systems, you can now directly send a test file over and check the connection is up and running.

Send a test to a Communication Channel

From the right side panel of an inbound Communication Channel, you now have the option to "Send a test". You can choose to send one of the generic Orderful test files or upload your own custom test file.

Orderful then displays a test summary, that contains:

• The test status
• The test file you sent
• The delivery proofs (if any)
• The delivery logs

Test an HTTP Communication Channel

When testing an HTTP Communication Channel:

• The test status can only be “Delivered”, “Failed” or “Timed-out”.
• The HTTP response code appears on the “Log” row.
• The full HTTP Response is stored as a file on the Received row.

Test an AS2 Communication Channel

When testing an AS2 Communication Channel:

• The test status is “Pending” until your AS2 server sends a final successful or failed delivery notification. The test status then becomes “Delivered”, “Failed” or “Timed-out”.
• The Message Disposition Notification (MDN) is stored as a file on the Received row.
• The “Log” row displays all delivery notifications received.
