Messaging REST API

Q: What if registering a message or uploading the payload returns an error code?

A: Evaluate the error code. If it represents a temporary problem (e.g. a time-out), repeat the step later. If it is a permanent problem (e.g. not authorized), fix the problem and repeat the process.

Q: Do the unacknowledged receipts need to be checked and confirmed, or can they be ignored? After all, the payload will have been downloaded.

A: The status of the receipt for a given recipient indicates to the business application, whether the business process has completed successfully or if some other measure must be taken. If the receipts are not acknowledged, the messaging process will not be completed and the same receipts will continue to show up in the list.

Do the completed messages need to be deleted?

A: Until a completed message is deleted, it will continue to show up in the list of messages to receive and will take up disk space in the inbox.
