Resolving Timeouts After Loading POS-Partner 6.1

Date: Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2007

Dear ECi Approval Link Customers:

Approval Link™ dealers who use TSYS® (formerly Vital) POS-Partner 6.1 software for credit card authorization have reported issues with timeouts.

Symptoms

There is a consistent pattern of errors such as “timeout on response” and “no reply from merchant” after dealers load POS-Partner’s recently released version 6.1 software update. ECi Technical Support has determined that these timeouts occur after DDMS and Approval Link software has passed the data to POS-Partner 6.1.

Solution

If you experience timeouts after loading POS-Partner 6.1, please contact the POS-Partner Technical Support Line (1-800-847-2772). Ask for an API technician to run the SQL utility that has been found to resolve timeouts between POS-Partner and the API.

Note: You will be asked for your V Number (e.g. V1234567) when calling POS-Partner.

We hope this information is helpful for our mutual customers.

Sincerely,
ECi Technical Support
