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 Endpoint option on the IIEP's 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 following flippers:

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.

• The Edit Configuration link opens the wizard and allows you to modify the following parameters:
• For information on the Pre-Processor, see IIEP - Configure PreProcessor here.
• For information on the Process Engine, see IIEP - Configure Processing Engine here.
• For information on the Post-Processor, see IIEP - Configure PostProcessor here.
• For information on the Error reporter, see IIEP - Configure Error Reporter here.
• Changes to the schedule can be made easily using the Schedule parameter ellipsis button (). This opens the wizard on the Schedule Endpoint step, see IIEP - Schedule Endpoint here.
• For information on the Queue for endpoint, Queue for endpoint process, Transactional settings, Maximum number of waiting processes, Maximum number of old processes, Maximum age of old processes, Number of messages per background processes, Contexts, and Workspace, see IIEP - Configure Endpoint here.

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.

• The Edit Receiver Plugin link opens the wizard on the Choose Receiver step and allows you to modify the settings. For more information, see IIEP - Choose Receiver 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.

• The background process (BGP) link opens the individual Importer Background Processes.

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 Importer Background Processes.

• Queued Processes are background processes that are started in the state 'waiting'. The maximum number of background processes that can be started in the state waiting is specified in the integration endpoint configuration.
• Active Processes are background processes that are currently being processed. If data is processed as strict or chained, the endpoint only has one active background process at a time. Otherwise, it is possible to apply more background process queues to work concurrently. In this case the endpoint can have more active background processes at a time.
• Failed Processes are background processes that are no longer running. For more information, see Handling Failed IIEP Background Processes here.
• Completed with errors have run, but an error has been detected.
• Ended Processes have completed successfully. The number of ended processes is determined by the configuration.

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: Receiver plugins 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.

Log Tab

This tab provides information about changes to the IIEP configuration.

Status Tab

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