Using Transports (Adapters)
In the eiConsole, a “Transport” is another type of adapter. The role of Transports is to accept a transaction, send it (to file, to HTTP, or to whatever communications form is used), and then mark that transaction as completed. Transports are the eiConsole components used to transmit data using a variety of protocols to the desired Target systems. Transports are configured in exactly the same manner as Listeners. Generally, the transport types are about the same as the Listeners. There are, however, a few Transports for which there are no corresponding Listeners, and vice-versa. Generally, they come in pairs.
Note: To view all of the 40+ eiConsole Transports, click Available Transport Types.
Using Transports
To configure a Transport, you must have a corresponding Target System defined. To add a Target System where one doesn’t exist, click the Add Target icon.
Next, to configure a Transport, click the cell or icon in the grid labeled Transport.
Once highlighted, the Transport Configuration panel will appear as shown below.
Select the desired Transport Type from the drop-down.
The Transport Name is given automatically, but you have the option to change it. The Transport Name should be something user-friendly that helps you to understand what the Transport accomplishes. We recommend using the name provided.
Next, fill in the configuration details in the Transport Configuration panel below.
Tabs and configuration options will vary based on the module selected in the Transport Type drop-down.
To add additional Transports, click the Add Target icon at the top of the screen. Repeat the previous process and select a Transport Type from the drop-down menu. In this example, we selected Execute Command Line. Enter a descriptive name in the Transport Name field. This will display beneath the Transport icon on the Route grid.
To delete a Transport, click on the Transport icon for the Transport you would like to delete and then click the Delete Target button at the top of the screen. Next, click Yes in the Confirm Target Deletion window to confirm the deletion.
Each Transport Type has its own corresponding configuration. You can find more information about specific Transports in following the link below.
See the complete list of available Transports in the PilotFish Platform.
