Destination Table

Column	Description
Status	Indicates whether the destination is enabled or disabled. Only enabled destinations process messages. A channel must have at least one destination enabled.
Destination	Double-click this cell to edit the name of the destination. Note that while a destination may be renamed, its metadata ID will remain the same.
Id	The metadata ID that uniquely identifies this destination within the current channel.
Connector Type	The type of destination connector. To change this, select the destination from the table and choose a new type from the drop-down menu directly below the table.
Chain	The chain this destination connector belongs to. The first destination in the table is automatically placed into chain #1. To start a new chain, select a subsequent destination from the table, and uncheck the Wait for previous destination check box directly below the table.

Destination Tasks

In addition to the general Edit Channel Tasks, several context-specific tasks are unique to the Destinations Tab: Task Icon Task Name Description New Destination Creates a new destination and adds it to the table above. Delete Destination Deletes the currently selected destination and removes it from the table above. Note that a channel must have at least one enabled destination. Clone Destination Copies the currently selected destination and adds it to the table above. Enable Destination Marks this destination as ready to process messages at deploy time. Disable Destination Marks this destination as not ready to process messages at deploy time. Note that a channel must have at least one enabled destination. Move Destination Up Moves the currently selected destination one row higher in the table above. Move Destination Down Moves the currently selected destination one row lower in the table above. Edit Response Enters the Edit Transformer View for the currently selected destination's r

Destination Settings

These are general settings that apply to all destination connectors. They include configuring the destination queue, whether to validate responses, and whether to re-attach attachments on outbound messages. Item Name Description A Queue Messages Never: Disable the destination queue. On Failure: Attempt to send the message first before queuing it. This will allow subsequent destinations and the Postprocessor to use the response from this destination if it successfully sends before queuing. Always: Immediately queue the message. Subsequent destinations and the Postprocessor will always see this destination's response as QUEUED. B Advanced Queue Settings Configure how often to re-attempt queued messages, increase queue threads, and more. C Validate Response Select Yes to validate the response. Responses can only be validated if the response transformer's inbound properties contains a Response Validation section. If validation fails, the message will be marked as queued or errored. For add

Destinations Tab

The Destinations tab is where destination connectors are configured. This includes the destination connector properties, the destination filter / transformer scripts, and the response transformer scripts. From this tab you can rename / reorder / enable / disable / clone destinations, and decide which ones belong in separate destination chains. Imageof the Destinations tab when editing a channel. Configuration of destination connectors is separated into the following sections: Destination Table The Destination table shows you all the currently configured destinations for your channel.

Metadata Table Columns

Column Description Id The unique ID that identifies the message within the current channel. Note that a single message can have multiple connector messages for each connector (source / destinations) in the channel. Each connector message row is organized by this column in the table. Connector The name of the connector. (e.g. "Source", "Destination 1") Status The current status of the connector message. Valid values include: Source connector statuses: Received: If the source queue is enabled, this means the message has been committed to the database and added to the source queue, but has not yet been processed. If the source queue is disabled, this means the message has not yet finished processing through the source connector. Filtered: The message has been rejected by the source filter, and will not flow any further through the channel. Transformed: The message has passed the source filter/transformer, and the source encoded data has been dispatched to any destinations. Error: An error

Destination Connectors

Every channel has at least one destination connector that sends data out to an external system. Destination connectors are configured on the Destinations Tab within the Edit Channel View. In addition to the standard Connector Components, destination connectors include: An Enabled flag that determines whether the destination is currently being used. A channel must have at least one destination enabled at any given time. A Wait for previous destination setting that determines what chain a destination connector belongs to. (For additional information, see Destination Chains. ) A Response Transformer. This is like a regular transformer, except it has its own response inbound data type and response outbound data type, and does the job of modifying the response that an external system returned to a destination connector. It also allows you to decide when to queue / force-error a message. See Response Transformers for additional information. Parent topic: Channel Components

Dashboard Table Columns

Column Description Status The status of the deployed channel. Common statuses include: Deploying: The channel is in the middle of being deployed. If the channel appears to be stuck in this state, it may mean a deploy script is taking a long time. Undeploying: The channel is in the middle of being undeployed. If the channel appears to be stuck in this state, it may mean a shutdown script is taking a long time. Starting: The channel is in the middle of starting up. If the channel appears to be stuck in this state, it may be in the middle of recovering unfinished messages. Started: The channel is currently started. If the node color is orange instead of green, it means that not all connectors underneath the channel are started. Pausing: The channel is in the middle of pausing. The source connector is in the middle of stopping, and will wait until all currently processing messages have finished before doing so. Paused: The channel is currently paused. The source connector is currently stop
