TCP/IP Collection Agent
The TCP/IP collection agent enables data to be collected and integrated into a workflow using the standard TCP/IP protocol. It supports multiple simultaneous connections. Responses can be sent back to the source either as a bytearray (for single connections) or, when multiple connections are allowed, as a UDR containing a response field. All response handling is managed through APL commands.
Two example TCP/IP workflows. The second one sends responses to the source
When activated, the TCP/IP agent binds to the specified port and waits for incoming connections. A Decoder is not required in these workflows—the agent includes built-in decoding functionality and supports any format defined in the Ultra Format Editor.
Note!
The TCP/IP collection agent is compatible with both IPv4 and IPv6 environments.
