ECS Collection Agent

ECS Collection Agent

The ECS Collection agent retrieves error data, either error UDRs or error batches, from ECS. Data can be collected using either a Reprocessing Group or a Saved Filter. Note that the Saved Filter is limited to read-only collection and is applicable only when collecting error UDRs.

The agent collects only records with a Reprocessing State set to New. When using a Reprocessing Group for collection, the Reprocessing State of the retrieved data is automatically updated to Reprocessed. When collected by an ECS collection agent, the fields in the UDRs are included as MIM values in the workflow.

If error batches are collected, the ECS Collection agent produces bytearray data. To determine which UDRs/batches to collect, select a Reprocessing Group (defined in the ECS Inspector).

It is only possible to have one active ECS collection workflow per Reprocessing Group at a time.

Note!

Collecting UDRs from the ECS only changes their states, they are not physically removed from the ECS. Use the predefined system task ECS_Maintenance to automatically remove UDRs. For further information, see ECS Maintenance System Task. You can also manually delete UDRs directly from the ECS Inspector.
