The collection workflow needs a Decoder agent, since batches are saved in their original format when sent to ECS.

Workflow Properties

The Error tab may be configured to handle cancelBatch behavior, however, it will never be valid for ECS batch collection workflows. Any call to cancelBatch will cause the workflow to abort immediately.

ECS Collection Agent

All batches conforming to the collection criteria will be selected. If a batch contains historic UDRs, that is UDRs belonging to old, not used format definitions, they will by default be converted automatically to the latest format. If this behavior is not desired, the automatic conversion may be disabled from the Ultra Format Converter. In this case the workflow will abort, logging an informative message in the System Log.

Analysis Agent

Calls to cancelBatch shall not be made in APL because it will cause the workflow to abort immediately and nothing will be sent to ECS.
