Creating an Inbound Convert Transaction

A Transaction is created by using a Template. Therefore, before creating a Transaction, ensure that you have created a Template.

To create an Inbound Transaction:

1. Click Transactions > Templates.

2. On the Templates screen, navigate to the Template you want to use and click .

3. Provide the name and description of the Transaction. The name and description of the Transaction are generated automatically based on the selected Template. You can edit the Transaction name and description that can be up to 48 and 300 characters long.
   
   
   
   

   In a transaction with context based routing, Adeptia Connect validates if the "Contains" criteria is already used in other transactions to prevent creation of duplicate transactions.

4. Click Continue.

5. Select the Network from the Select Network field. The availability of this field is driven by the following conditions.

   • This field is not available:

     • When the selected Template has only one Network.

     • When the selected Template has more than one Network but the user has access to only one Network.
   • This field is available:
     • When the selected Template has multiple Networks and the user has access to more than one Network.
       
       
   

6. Select the partner for whom you are creating this Transaction. All the Partners of the Network(s) to which this Template belongs will be populated in the field.  

   1. You can click to add a new Partner. Add Partner screen will open.

   2. You can import the Partner through WebForm by clicking Import Partners  icon. This option will work only if you have selected Allow Import Partner(s) checkbox while creating a Template.

7. Click Next to go to Transaction Settings step.

8. On the Transaction Settings screen, do the followings:

   1. Enter the details as described in the following table.

      

      Field Name		Description
      Contact User		Email id(s) listed here will receive a notification email whenever the Transaction is executed successfully or if there is an error during execution. Multiple email ids are separated by comma. If Adeptia Connect is running on multiple environments and you want to receive environment name in the emails, then you need to specify the environment name in the relevant property (Account > Settings > Server Nodes Settings > Systems > Personalization).
      When to notify the contact user thru email?		Always: Send an email whenever a Transaction executes. On Error: Send an email if an error occurred during the execution of the Transaction. Do Not Notify: Select this option if you do not want to receive an email notification for Transaction execution.
      Email Notification Format		This field is visible only when you have selected Always or On Error option to send the notification to the user. Select the email notification format that you want to use for notification emails sent to the user for successful and failed transaction. Default: If you select Default, the system will use the default email notification format. Customized Notification Format: If you select this option, a Custom Error Notification Format field appears. In this field, you can select an existing custom email notification format or create a new one, and use it for email notifications.

   2. Expand Advanced Settings to set the Logging Level, Repository File Retention, and Activity Logging Retention. The available options for the fields are as follows:

      • Logging Level- INFO, DEBUG, and ERROR

      • Repository File Retention- DONT DELETE, DELETE, DELETE ON SUCCESS, and DELETE ON SUCCESS EXCEPT SOURCE DATA

      • Activity Logging Retention- DONT DELETE, DELETE ON SUCCESS, and NO LOGGING
        To learn more about these options, refer to this page.
        
        
        The three fields (Logging Level, Repository File Retention, and Activity Logging Retention) appear on this screen only when the Template you are using is created by setting Routing Type to None. When you use a Template with Routing Type selected as either Content Based or Context Based, only the Repository File Retention field appears on the screen. 
        

        If you hide the Transaction Settings page using Select the steps which you want to hide at the time of Transaction creation option from the Settings screen while creating a Template, by default the following values will be set for the fields in a Transaction:
        

        • When using a Template with Routing Type as None:
          
          1. Logging Level : ERROR
          2. Repository File Retention : DELETE ON SUCCESS EXCEPT SOURCE DATA
          3. Activities Logging Retention : DONT DELETE
           
          
        • When using a Template with Routing Type as Content or Context Based:
          
          1. Repository File Retention : DELETE ON SUCCESS EXCEPT SOURCE DATA

9. Click Next to define the parameter values. This screen appears only if the Template you are using is created to get the values from the Partner or Company user.

10. Provide the values in the fields.

11. Click Next to define the Source application account. This screen appears if the Template you are using is created for the Partner to define the account details.

    Field Name	Description
    Folder Location	Folder location from where to pick files.
    Process all the existing records/files when this transaction is turned on	To process all the existing files from the specified location.
    Don't process duplicate files	This option appears only for FTP application. Selecting this option will not process any new file that has the same name as the file that has already been processed. This option does not process the duplicate files as per the retain time defined in the event metadata property.
    Send mail notification for no data on trigger	Selecting this option will check the data and send mail notification to the Partner for no data on trigger.
    Send mail notification for error on trigger	Selecting this option will check the data and send mail notification to the Partner for error in data on trigger.
    Delete file on success	Delete the file once it is processed.
    File type	File format to process the files. Multiple file formats are separated by a comma. Use *.* to process all file formats.
    File exclude	Type the file format to exclude the file type while transaction is running. Multiple file formats are separated by a comma. For example if you want to exclude text files from the FTP location, type .txt in the field.
    Trigger Type	You can set trigger through POLLING and CRON EXPRESSION. POLLING: The time interval during which the Transaction triggers. By default, Transaction triggers after every 10 minutes. Select No polling option to trigger Transaction manually. CRON EXPRESSION: Define the specific time schedule for the Transaction to trigger. For more information on how to define Cron Expression, click here. It is mandatory to define the first cron expression, if you have selected cron as a Trigger type. For example, if you have set a FTP Event to run every 5 minutes from Monday to Sunday, you can set the cron expression as "0 0/5 * ? * MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT * ". You may make use of the second cron expression to define another condition or address a condition supplementary to the first one. For example, if you have set a FTP Event to run every 5 minutes from Monday to Sunday, but do not want the same event to run from 12 AM to 12 PM on Sundays, the second cron expression can be defined as "0 0/5 13-23? * SUN * ".  The firing schedule you define in the second cron expression must not overlap the one defined in the first cron expression.
    File Stable Time	Provide the waiting time (for the file to become stable) after which the trigger happens. For example, if you choose 30 Seconds in the stable time then system will wait for 30 seconds for the file to go stable before it triggers the transaction.   This option is applicable for On File Created and On File Modified Trigger Type. The trigger will wait for the specified time for the file to become stable.

    The Source application account and configuration details screen differ depending on the Source application chosen in the Template you are using.
