Poll for Job Delivery status to get latest state

Hi,

We have setup our application to send faxes and inserted the Job Delivery status of each job into our database. Initially when a Job submit is executed we are getting the job delivery status based on the jubsubmit response and inserting the Job Delivery status response to DB. It seems like the reponse we immediately get will have a state "Delivering". I know that it will take atleast a minute for the fax status to update & in case of cancelled status it will try for multiple attempts.

In this scenario how do we get the latest "State" of the job? I went through the forums and found that it can be done through polling. Couls someone please guide me or provide any documentation for polling scenario's. Thanks in advance.

The Result you get back from the JobSubmit, if State is 0, gives you the XDN and MRN (job number). That means that the submit was valid and that it has been assigned a job number. The job then has to go through setup and then on to Delivering.

The first check for the JobDeliveryStatusRequest (JDSR) should not take place for at least five minutes after the Result is obtained. This will vary depending on the complexity of your job. If the Result shows Posted, Delivered, or Completed, it can stop being checked any further.

If the Result shows an error, the error/gamma_code needs to be checked. If the error shows a busy or no answer you would try the JDSR again based on your Retry setting, waiting another five minutes after the Retry time has passed. Then proceed accordingly based on the new Result.

If a hard error is received, To Few Dial Digits or Invalid Number, this should be corrected.

Do a search for gamma_code to see the possible errs.

Based on your application needs, there are alternatives. This could be discussed with your PreSales Engineer.
