In this window you specify the Output definition name basic settings, such as when the output process is to run and how the definition is to react when an error occurs.
Name
Enter the name you want to identify the definition. The name will appear in both the Administration Program and the Transaction Monitor. Try to pick a descriptive name that will help you remember the definition’s purpose. You may find this helpful in future.
Running State
The Running state indicates the current state of the definition. It also allows you to change the state of the definition. However, there are easier ways of doing this, see section: Administrative Program - Tool for Operating the Server. It is recommended that the state be left with the default value Stop, while the definition is created. In any case, the definition will not be usable until it has been integrated into an Integration definition. For more information on how to manage running, see section: Start, Stop or Pause Individual Definitions on the Server.
Execution mode
Choose how execution of the Output definition is to be triggered. Selecting the Scheduled adapter, specifies that the output process will start as given under the Schedule tab. Event driven adapter specifies that the Output definition will start when data is received from the Conversion process.
Note that the communication method SQL and Send to Input definition cannot be schedule controlled.
Error handling behavior
Sets up the actions the Output definition is to take when an error occurs in the output process.
There are three different actions the Output definition can take when an error is encountered.
Error
Allows the output adapter to retry writing the data, for as many times as specified in Number of retries ...., in the hope that there will be an improvement in the location (or connection). Specify the number times the adapter can try to process a message, before the adapter is disabled in Retry Interval.
Discard message
The data will be removed and no error message issued.
Number of Retries
Specify the number of times the adapter can try to process a message, before the adapter is disabled
Retry Interval
Define the time interval between the retry attempts. This is to allow time for the receiver location to be modified, before the Output definition tries to send again.
Notes
In this field, you can enter notes to help you remember, for example, why the settings were made and those cases for which the definition is valid
