RepeatIndicator Property

Indicates whether a transaction is a repeat of a previous transaction attempt.

Syntax

 tsyshcretail.getRepeatIndicator([callback])
 tsyshcretail.setRepeatIndicator( repeatIndicator, [callback])

Default Value

FALSE

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getRepeatIndicator([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setRepeatIndicator([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property allows you to specify whether a transaction is a repeat of a previous transaction attempt.

If a timeout exception occurs, such as the host capture system not receiving the request or the response not being received from the host capture system, you can set RepeatIndicator to true and resend the request using the original transaction details. In the case that the host capture system received the original transaction, it has already been logged and will respond with existing Response details. In the case that the host capture system did not receive the original transaction, it will process the request normally.

Note: Repeat transactions are not allowed for gift card and debit transactions.
