In order to send UDRs to ECS, a workflow must contain an ECS forwarding agent and the invalid UDRs have to be routed to it. It is recommended to use a preceding Analysis or Aggregation agent to associate an Error Code with the UDR.

The ECS forwarding agent is applicable for UDRs only. Batches are handled in the following ways:

  • Through the cancelBatch APL function.
  • By setting your workflow to never abort in the workflow properties.
  • After a certain amount of consecutive workflow aborts.
  • Using the Route Raw Data option in the Decoder agent.

Note!

From the ECS forwarding agent, it is possible to pass on MIM values to be associated with the UDRs in the ECS Inspector.

Configuration

The ECS Forwarding agent provides you with an option to log Meta Information Model (MIM) for the UDRs that are to be sent to the ECS as well as allow you to configure the thread buffer. The configurations you can set for the agent are as follows:
