You can select to either collect data from a Reprocessing Group that has been defined in the ECS Inspector or from a filter that has been saved in the ECS Inspector. The available settings in the configuration dialog depends on which option you choose.

Note!

The default directory, used for storage of UDRs and batches routed to the ECS, is $MZ_HOME/ecs.



SettingDescription

Reprocessing Group

Select this option if you want to collect data from a Reprocessing Group. In order for data to be collectible, it must belong to a predefined reprocessing group. The groups in the Reprocessing Group list are suffixed with their type - batch or UDR.

Reprocessing groups are defined in the ECS Inspector. Collected UDRs or batches will automatically be marked as Reprocessed. Reprocessed data can be collected again, if the state is manually changed back to New in the ECS Inspector.

Saved Filter (Read Only)

Select this option if you want to collect data that has been defined by a filter saved in the ECS Search dialog. This option can only be used for UDRs. In order for UDRs to be collectible, they must match the search criteria in the filter selected in the Saved Filter list. Filters are created and saved in the ECS Inspector.

Collection Size

This field is enabled when a UDR reprocessing group has been selected. The value defines how many UDRs will be collected before the ECS collection agent finishes the current batch and starts a new one. Valid range is 1,000 to 100,000 UDRs. A higher value will require more memory usage and can have impact on the performance.

SQL Bulk Size

To improve performance, data records are retrieved in bulk. The SQL Bulk Size value specifies how many records that will be included in each bulk. Valid range is 1 to 1000, with a default value of 20. 

Routed Types

A group of UDRs can consist of several format types. Selecting Add... will display the UDR Internal Format Browser. Select the type or types to collect. Any UDRs in the reprocessing group not matching the selected types will be ignored.
