Supported Operations
The connector supports the following operations:
Track Transmission
This operation allows you to track transmissions that occur outside of Anypoint B2B Connectors like reading a file from the filesystem. Tracking includes, but not only, keeping a record of the transmission’s metadata, file’s content and format. Tracked transmissions are can viewed in Anypoint Partner Manager.
Example
The following is a sample config of the Track transmission operation:
The above operation will track who is the transmission’s originator and receiver in addition to the file content, filename, direction, and format type. User-defined metadata will also be tracked. The connector expects metadata to be a java.util.Map. You have the option to define the map, representing metadata, inline via the Object Browser, or alternatively, specify from the operation config its location in the Mule message:
As seen in the above screenshot, you can store any amount of metadata for a given transmission, including nested metadata. Once Partner Manager has processed the tracking, you can view the recorded transmission from Partner Manager:
