Inter Workflow forwarding agent configuration - batch workflow


SettingDescription

Profile

The name and most recent version of the profile as defined in the Inter Workflow profile configuration.

All workflows in the same workflow configuration can use separate Inter Workflow profiles, if that is preferred. In order to do that the profile must be set to Default in the Workflow Table tab found in the Workflow Properties dialog. After that each workflow in the table can be appointed different profiles.

Named MIM

The user defined MIM names according to the definitions in the selected profile.

MIM Resource

Selected, existing MIM values of the workflow that the Named MIMs are mapped to. This way, MIM values from this workflow are passed on to the collection workflow.

Produce Empty Batches

If enabled, empty files will be created even if no UDRs are forwarded from a batch.

Use Custom Stream

Select this checkbox to be able to use the same profile in many workflows. The collector and forwarding agents will then find what to connect to by using a profile and Stream ID, rather than only a profile. When a realtime workflow is connected to a batch workflow, they scale as a unit, allowing for backend/frontend pairs to be held together using a Stream ID.

If this checkbox is cleared, the Inter Workflow profile is defined in design time, and not configurable per dynamic workflow, making it impossible to scale chained workflows.

Stream ID

Enter desired Stream ID.
