About Filters
The filter is the piece of a connector that decides whether a message should proceed to the next step or not. It is configured on the Edit Filter View within either the Source Tab or Destinations Tab within the Edit Channel View. A filter returns true or false. When the filter returns true, the message is said to have been accepted. When the filter returns false, the message is said to have been filtered. If the source connector filters out a message, it will not flow through the source transformer, and will not be processed by any of the destination connectors. If a destination connector filters out a message, it will not flow through the destination transformer, and will not be dispatched outbound by that destination connector. However other destinations may still process the message. A filter is comprised of multiple rules. Each rule is joined together with an operator, which can be AND or OR. For example a filter may look like this: Accept the message if: Rule 1 returns true OR Rul

Edit Channel Tasks
The following context-specific tasks are available throughout the Edit Channel View: Task Icon Task Name Description Save Changes Saves a new revision of the current channel, if anything was actually changed. Validate Connector Validates the currently viewed connector, ensuring that all connector properties are valid and able to be saved. Edit Filter Enters the Edit Filter View for the currently viewed connector. Edit Transformer Enters the Edit Transformer View for the currently viewed connector. Import Connector Imports a connector from an XML file into the current channel. For source connectors, this completely overrides all source connector properties and the source filter/transformer. For destination connectors a new destination is added to the table. Export Connector Exports the currently viewed connector to an XML file. This includes all connector properties and the connector's filter / transformer. Export Channel Exports the current channel to an XML file. The channel must be s

General Channel Properties
General Channel properties are configured on the Summary Tab within the Edit Channel View and include: Unique ID, name, and description. Links to Code Template Libraries: These let the channel know which custom functions are available in specific JavaScript contexts. Links to Library Resources: These let the channel know which custom Java classes are available in specific connectors and/or JavaScript contexts. Deploy/Start Dependencies: These determine which channels are dependent on this one, and also which channels are dependencies for this one. This way you can have some channels deploy and start before others. Attachment Handler: This allows you to extract pieces of any incoming message and store them separately. As a message processes through a channel, multiple copies of it will be held in memory at once (for the raw / transformed / encoded versions of a message). Attachments are stored only once, so by using them you can greatly reduce your channels' memory footprint. Message St
