Workflow Bridge Profile Configuration General Tab

The General tab is displayed by default when creating or opening a Workflow Bridge profile.

Workflow Bridge profile

Setting	Description
Send Reply Over Bridge	Select this checkbox if the Collection workflow must send a reply back to the Forwarding workflow each time a `ConsumeCycleUDR` has been received. If this is not checked only `ConsumeCycleUDRs` with an `wfbActionUDR` will be sent back. Note! This only applies for the ConsumeCycleUDR, since the WorkflowState UDRs must always be acknowledged. There is no timeout handling for outstanding `ConsumeCycleUDR`s requests in the forwarding agent, it must be handled in the Workflow logic if required.
Force Serialization	This option is enabled by default and applies to situations where the Workflows are running on the same EC. You can disable it to increase performance, if you are certain that no configurations will be changed during the execution of these Workflows. Note! If this option is disabled, it is strongly recommended to NOT perform any configuration changes while the Workflows are running.
Response Timeout (s)	Enter the time (in seconds) that the Workflow Bridge Forwarding agent will wait for a response for a WorkflowState UDR from the Workflow Bridge Real-time Collection agent. After the specified time, the Workflow Bridge Forwarding agent will time out and abort the workflow. The default value is "60".
Bulk Size	Configure Bulk Size if you want data to be bulked by the Workflow Bridge Forwarding agent before being sent to the collection side. Enter the number of UDRs that should be bulked. The default value is "0", which means that the bulk functionality will not be used.
Bulk Timeout (ms)	Enter the time (in milliseconds) that the Workflow Bridge Forwarding agent should wait in case the bulk size criteria is not fulfilled. Default value is "0" which is an infinite timeout.
Number of Collectors	If you want to configure broadcasting or load balancing, i e if you want several different Workflow Bridge collecting workflow instances to be able to receive data from the forwarding workflow, you enter the number of collecting workflows you want to use in this field. The number of collecting workflows connected to the workflow bridge must not exceed the limit set by this value. In the case of a batch forwarding workflow, it must be started after the specified Number of Collectors are running or it will abort. Collecting workflows that are started after the limit has been reached will also abort. Real-time forwarding workflows do not require any collectors running when started, and the Number of Collectors represents an upper limit only. Validation of this configuration will also be performed.
Transport	Select the transport protocol that you prefer for the best performance, Aeron, TCP, or TCP(netty4). Note!
