Tracking
For a given message, PortX facilitates storage of:
- Payload
-
The content of the message
- Metadata
-
Data about the message
The PortX Connector posts:
-
Metadata from the Routing Engine to the Tracking API
-
Payload data within the Routing Engine to Tracking Data Storage.
The customer then uses PortX to request and view metadata and payload data, a process which includes the Trading Partner Management API] and Tracking Data Storage. [img-tracking-storage-and-retrieval] illustrates this process
Payload Tracking
PortX payload tracking is designed to allow extensive customer control. You decide the following:
-
Where payloads are stored
-
For how long payloads are stored
-
Who has access to payloads
Metadata Tracking
Metadata tracking is used for searching and viewing. Customers define properties to track, such as:
-
Date and time
-
Sender
-
Recipient
-
Payload URL - This URL points to the message payload and is part of metadata tracking; the message payload itself is part of Payload Tracking.
