Maintaining an Inbound Integration Endpoint

Inbound integration endpoint settings can be viewed in the Inbound Integration Endpoint editor. To edit the settings, reopen the wizard using the hyperlinks defined below, or with the Edit Inbound Integration Endpoint option on the IIEP right-click menu.

Each tab on the editor is defined below and includes parameters to maintain the IIEP.

Inbound Integration Endpoint Tab

This tab holds basic information within the flippers defined below.

Description Flipper

The Description flipper includes basic information to identify the IIEP. Only the name, description, and enabled parameters can be edited. This data is originally set up in the IIEP wizard, see IIEP - Identify Endpoint documentation here.

For information on the Endpoint Status, see Running an Inbound Integration Endpoint documentation here.

Configuration Flipper

The Configuration flipper displays many of the settings determined through the wizard.

Receiver Configuration Flipper

The Receiver Configuration flipper displays details about the receiver method selected for the IIEP. For more information about receiver methods, see IIEP Receiver Methods here.

Integration Endpoint Log Flipper

The Integration Endpoint Log flipper contains information about the endpoint background process. An entry is generated each time the endpoint is invoked, when background processes generated by the endpoint are started, and when processing errors occur.

Background Processes Tab

This tab holds information about any related processes. Hover over an ID to display the background process (BGP) link, click it to open the individual inbound background processes.

For details on the states of a background process, see the BG Processes States topic in the System Setup / Super User Guide documentation here.

For more information, see the Monitoring an IIEP via Background Process section here.

Statistics Tab

This tab provides statistics about the number of requests handled, run times, and wait times. Key measures are Endpoint up-time, Waiting in data source, Number of failed requests (Background Processes with errors), and Mean run time (average processing time per import). This data cannot be exported.

Note: Receivers can poll the data source to check for waiting files or messages more frequently than the IIEPs are invoked.

Error Log Excerpts Tab

This tab shows data from the main Java log file related to failed background processes with Log Level > 'Info.' Click a hyperlink to a failed background process and correct the cause of the failed background process. For more information, see Handling Failed IIEP Background Processes here.

The number of errors that display on the 'Error Log Excerpts' tab per background process is, by default, 10. This maximum can be adjusted adding the IntegrationEndpoint.ErrorLogExcerptsLimit property to the sharedconfig.properties file, and setting it to the desired maximum. It should be noted that configuring a high maximum number of displayed errors for this tab could result in performance issues.

Log Tab

This tab provides information about changes to the IIEP configuration.

Status Tab

This tab provides information about revisions, hidden values and diagnostics.
