Monitor confirmation

Monitor confirmation is a processor that monitors incoming receipt confirmations (generated by Unpack job) and matches them against a copy of the packed data (generated by Pack job) waiting in its input folder. When no confirmation is received after a certain amount of time, the tool can be setup to retry the communication (that is, send another copy of the packed data).

See Acknowledged job hand-off for an example of how to use this tool.

Connections

Monitor confirmation supports outgoing traffic-light connections of the following types to support its various actions:

Action	Connection type	Comments
Confirm	Success data	When a matching confirmation is received, the packed data is removed from the input folder and sent along this connection.
Confirm	Success log	When a matching confirmation is received, it is sent along this connection.
Retry	Warning data	For each retry attempt (as specified by the tool's properties) a copy of the packed data is moved along this connection; the original packed data stays in the input folder.
Reject	Error data	After all retries have timed-out, the packed data is removed from the input folder and sent along this connection.
Reject	Error log	When a confirmation is received that does not match any of the waiting packed data files or that is corrupt, it is sent along this connection.
