| Setting | Description | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Host | The IP address or hostname to which the TCP collector connects. If the host is connected the port must also be connected. If left empty, the TCP collector connects to all IP-addresses available in the system.
| |||||
Port | The port number from which the data is received. Make sure the port is not used by other applications.
| |||||
Allow Multiple Connections | Select this checkbox to allow several TCP/IP connections simultaneously. If cleared, only one connection is allowed. | |||||
Number of Connections Allowed | If Allow Multiple Connections is selected, enter a number between 2 and 65000 to specify the number of allowed connections. | |||||
Send Response | Select this checkbox to have the collector send a response back to the source. If Allow Multiple Connections is selected, the collector expects a UDR extended with the default TCPIPUDR as a reply. If the checkbox is cleared, it expects a bytearray.
For a description of the differences between single or multiple connections, see A TCP/IP Example. | |||||
| Send TCPIPStateUDR | Select this checkbox to track the connection state of the client and have the collection agent send a UDR indicating the status of the client connection each time it changes state. See TCPIPStateUDR in TCP/IP Related UDR Types.

Decoder
...
List holding available decoders introduced via the Ultra Format Editor. The decoders are named according to the following syntax:
<decoder> (<module>)
The option MZ Format Tagged UDRs indicate that the expected UDRs are stored in one of the built-in formats. If the compressed format is used, the decoder will automatically detect this. Select this option to make the Tagged UDR Type list accessible for configuration. If this option is selected, the Tagged UDR Type list will be enabled.
...
Tagged UDR Type
...
List of available internal UDR formats stored in the Ultra and Code servers. The formats are named according to the following syntax:
<internal> (<module>)
If the decoder is to reprocess UDRs of an internal format, the Decoder MZ format tagged UDRs has to be selected to enable this list. Once enabled, the internal format may be selected.
...
Full Decode
If enabled, the UDR will be fully decoded before inserted into the workflow. This may have a negative impact on performance since all fields may not be accessed in the workflow, making decoding of all fields unnecessary.
