Configuring Fallback Local Host Settings (X12-Interchange Settings)
The local host settings govern how the EDI interchanges are processed. The settings on this page can be divided into two categories – receiver’s settings (for incoming interchanges) and sender’s settings (for outgoing interchanges). As part of the receiver’s settings, you can specify how the ST02 will be generated, the acknowledgement control number. As part of the sender’s settings, you can specify how the control numbers are generated for outgoing messages.
Note
The settings described here also apply to HIPAA interchanges.
Prerequisites
You must be logged on as a member of the BizTalk Server Administrators or BizTalk Server B2B Operators group.

To designate the range of transaction set control numbers used in an acknowledgment, enter values in the ACK Control number (ST02) fields. Enter a numeric value for the middle two fields, and an alphanumeric value (if desired) for the prefix and suffix fields.
