The collecting Inter Workflow agent collects batch files from a storage server. The data that it collects has previously been submitted to the storage server by a forwarding Inter Workflow agent.
Note!
An Inter Workflow profile cannot be used by more than one Inter Workflow collection agent at the time. A workflow trying to use an already locked profile will abort.
Note!
In a batch workflow, the collecting Inter Workflow agent will hand over the data, in UDR form, to the next agent in turn, one at the time.
In a realtime workflow on the other hand, the collecting Inter Workflow agent routes the UDRs into the workflow, one batch at a time.
It is possible to restrict memory consumption by setting the property mz.iwf.max_size_block in the <ec>.conf or the platform.conf, on the EC or Platform that runs the Inter Workflow storage. For further information on how to modify properties, see Pico Management[hide]3.0[/hide]. If the agent wants to allocate more memory than the given property value during collection, the collection will abort instead of suffering a possible "out of memory". The value representation should be in bytes. See the following example:
Example - Restricting memory consumpltion
mz.iwf.max_size_block="65535"
Note!
The minimum value is 32000 bytes, and even if a lower value is configured, 32000 will apply.
Every batch file that the agent routes to the workflow is preceded with a special UDR that is called NewFileUDR , and contains the name of the batch file.
