PDS Channel Status Monitoring

Status information related to products sent to PDS via STEP, as well as products added / submitted to channels in PDS, can be viewed and monitored in the PDS Status Data Container in the workbench and within the PDS Channel Status component in the Web UI.

The PDS Status Data Container is located within the PDS Status Attribute Group, which also contains the PDS status attributes that are valid for the PDS Status Data Container. These attributes are used to monitor the send and receive status of products between STEP and PDS, including the relevant PDS channel statuses. The data container and attributes are created automatically when the PDS integration is activated, and rows within the data container are added as products are submitted to PDS from STEP and from PDS to channels.

Note: While the PDS Data Container within the workbench and the PDS Channel Status component in the Web UI may be referred to separately in this documentation section, details will be relevant for both unless otherwise noted, as function and output are similar.

This documentation section includes the following topics related to the monitoring of PDS channel statuses:

Note: This documentation section assumes that users have a basic understanding of data containers. For more information on data containers, see the Data Containers section of the System Setup / Super User Guide documentation here.
