Creating a new broadcast object

To send your configuration to the Composer Server, Axway Composer first creates a broadcast object that includes the list of objects involved in the operation.

To create a new broadcast object:

1. Select Broadcast Browser from the Tools menu.
2. Click on the Broadcast Browser toolbar to create a new broadcast object.
3. Select the type of broadcast operation from the submenu:
4. Send to Server
5. Send to ServerComplete
6. Commit
7. Remove from Server

The new broadcast object is added to the list in the left pane of the Browser and its status is set to Under Definition.

8. Click the Detail tab in the right pane of the Browser. The Broadcast name field displays the default name of the broadcast object. To modify this name, click the Modify button next to the name field and then enter the new name.
9. To select the objects to add to the broadcast, click the Selected objects tab in the right pane of the Browser. Then drag-and-drop the required objects from the navigator pane to the Object name field.
   Note: You can only drag-and-drop objects that can be sent to Server and that belong to the same Axway Server. The objects that you select do not necessarily have to be linked to each other or belong to the same Folder.
10. To specify the Axway Server to which you want to send the objects (or from which you want to remove the objects), click the Detail tab.
    Drag-and-drop a Server from the Infrastructure tab in the Navigator pane to the Axway Server field on the Browser Detail tab.
    Note: For Integrator, AccountingIntegrator and ProcessManager, you can only add a single Axway Server to the list.
11. Click to start the broadcast. The broadcast status changes to In Progress. It remains in progress until the broadcast is complete on all Servers (if more than one Server is selected).

Results of the broadcast operation

If the broadcast:

• is successful on all selected Servers, the broadcast status changes to Normal Termination.
• fails on all Servers, the broadcast status changes to Abnormal Termination.
• involves more than one Server and fails on at least one of them, the broadcast status changes to Wait For User Action. You must then perform one of the following actions on the Server in error:

• Restart the broadcast
• Cancel the broadcast
• Force the broadcast

Creating the next broadcast

After you create a new broadcast object, you can then select the same broadcast in the list and create the next broadcast step for the same transaction.

For example, if you create a new Send to Server broadcast object for Transfer CFT, the status of the broadcast objects is set to ToBeCommitted. The next step is to commit the transaction, or remove it from Server.

To create the next broadcast:

1. Select the broadcast object in the left pane and click on the toolbar.
2. Select the broadcast type from the pop-up menu.
