Init configuration

What is Init-configuration?

The init-configuration contains information that is applied to every new document that comes through the incoming transport location. Senders, receivers and distributions are used to find the right distributions to use for the document. The remaining groups are used to control the processing and flow of the documents.

Init-configuration is viewed or edited on the incoming transport location details page by pressing the similarly named button in the top row. To edit the init-configuration, the transport location must first be in edit mode; otherwise the init-configuration will open in read-only mode. Permission to edit incoming transport location is therefore also required to edit the init-configuration.

All of the fields of the init-configuration are optional and can be left blank, some fields have relations and are only applicable when used together, i.e. a sender id is only applicable when a sender id qualifier is also specified.

Distribution

See also: Distributions

Distributions (distribution ids)

Specify one or more distributions. To specify distributions, it is necessary to know the distribution id, which can be found on the distribution search result page. It is possible to enter multiple ids at one time by separating them with space or comma etc.

Format type

Specify a format type from the dropdown. This field is not used if distributions a specified in the field above.

Format / variant / version

Specify the combination of format, variant and variant version in the dropdown. When this field is used, the format type above is updated to reflect the valid format type and the field is disabled. This field is not used if distributions a specified in the field above.

Sender

Partners

Specify one or more sender partners. These partners are used to resolve distributions. Specifying multiple partners means that multiple distributions can be matched, causing the document to be cloned for each distribution. It is very rarely meaningful to specify more than one sender partner.  

Sender id macro

Specify a sender partner id or a macro to resolve the sending partner id. The macro is useful when the sender partner is contained within the message. For more information on macros see Macros. 

Sender id qualifier macro

Specify a sender partner id qualifier (GLN, CVR...) or a macro to resolve the id qualifier of the sender id. A fixed qualifier is useful when only the sender id is contained within the message. The macro is useful when the id qualifier is contained in the message. For more information on macros see Macros.

Receiver

Partners

Specify one or more receiver partners. These partners are used to resolve distributions. Specifying multiple partners means that multiple distributions can be matched, causing the document to be cloned for each distribution.

Receiver id macro

Specify a receiver partner id or a macro to resolve the receiving partner id. The macro is useful when the receiver partner is contained within the message. For more information on macros see Macros. 

Receiver id qualifier macro

Specify a receiver partner id qualifier (GLN, CVR...) or a macro to resolve the id qualifier of the receiver id. A fixed qualifier is useful when only the receiver id is contained within the message. The macro is useful when the id qualifier is contained in the message. For more information on macros see Macros.

Document and Interchange

Document number macro

One message per interchange

Originating System

See also: Originating system

Originating system

Specify an originating system from the dropdown and it will be applied to all documents that originate from this transport location. 

Origination system id macro

Specify a macro to resolve the originating system that will be applied to all documents that originate from this transport location. The macro is useful when the originating system is contained within the message. For more information on macros see Macros.

Cache time (minutes)

The amount of time (in minutes) that the pipeline cache hold the related database entities in memory before reading the from the database again. Useful to improve performance but may cause changes to related entities be delayed be taking effect.

Extra logs

Check this to store document stage at every step during processing. The states are stored as additional files and associated with the document so it can be found in Tracking Search Detail.
