The forwarding workflow contains an Analysis agent which validates batches and sends them to ECS in case of failure.

Workflow Properties

MIM values to be associated with the batch are mapped in the Workflow Properties dialog. Also, the number of allowed cancelled batches is set here. Note that if  Abort Immediately  is enabled, no batch will be sent to ECS if the workflow aborts.

The error UDR is handled from the Analysis agent. For further information, see Analysis Agent in 9.24.6.2 ECS Collection Workflow. APL code always overrides any Desktop settings. Hence, the set Error Code will have no effect on this.

ECS Inspection

Automatic assignment to reprocessing groups is done exactly the same way as for UDRs in ECS Inspector in 9.24.6.1 ECS Forwarding Workflow via the ECS Inspector dialog (accessed from the Edit menu, selecting Reprocessing Groups...). Make sure to select the appropriate Error UDR Type. Then the UDR fields will be included as MIMs in the collection workflow.

Analysis Agent

The Error UDR may be mapped from the Workflow Properties dialog as well, however in this case APL code must be used, since it is desired to insert other values than MIM values in the error UDR fields. Also, an Error Case will be assigned, and this is not possible from the Workflow Properties dialog. For further information, see 9.24.4.6 ECS Error Codes, and 9.24.4.7 ECS Reprocessing Groups.
