Metadata typically refers to important information about the message, but not the actual message content. Message Metadata includes: Message ID: Every message for any given channel has a unique integer ID, the Message ID. The Message ID is used to organize data in the message browser and join connector messages together. Connector Metadata ID: Each connector has its own ID, referred to as the connector metadata ID. The source connector always has a metadata ID of zero (0). Destination connector metadata IDs start at one (1) and increment for each new destination you add to the channel. Status: Each connector message has a status, which tells the channel the current processing state. For example, the status could be RECEIVED, which means the raw data has been committed to the database, but the message is in the middle of being processed.

This name will also be shown in the metadata table when viewing the message browser for the channel. Type The type of column to create. STRING: A textual string value. NUMBER: A numeric value. This may be an integer or floating point value. BOOLEAN: A true/false value. TIMESTAMP: A date/time value. Variable Mapping The key used to look up values in all available variable maps for each connector. As explained in the Variable Maps section, the following maps (if available) will be checked in this order: Response Connector Channel Source Global Channel Global Configuration Modifying Custom Metadata Columns Parent topic: Summary Tab
