Hi,

Is DATA_SM of the SMPP supported in NowSMS when acting as a SMPP server to relay messages from SMPP to SMS?

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

I received your e-mail with this same question, and replied to you via e-mail.

It appears that it would be very simple for us to add DATA_SM support into our SMPP server implementation. But I would like some additional information from you as to why you are using DATA_SM instead of SUBMIT_SM to make sure that we understand what is involved in supporting this PDU. In the specification, this looks almost identical to SUBMIT_SM.

An additional question, if NowSMS relays this message to another SMPP server, is it ok if the original DATA_SM request gets converted to SUBMIT_SM by NowSMS?

Please feel free to reply to me via e-mail ... nowsms@now.co.uk.

An additional note on this issue.

We received several queries last week on support for the DATA_SM SMPP PDU.

Versions of NowSMS after v5.01 will include support for DATA_SM requests in the SMPP server implementation. In the meantime, if you have a need for this support, please feel free to e-mail nowsms@now.co.uk to request an update that includes this support.

(Note: If you are using an SMPP client application that requires DATA_SM support, the NowSMS SMPPDEBUG.LOG would contain the message "SMPP Debug: received unknown command 00000103".)
