Creating a Channel for Sentinel Integrator monitoring

Overview

To link Integrator and Sentinel for exchange of messages, you create a Channel in Composer.

Prerequisites

Before you can create the Channel, you must create the following objects in Composer:

Procedure

  1. In the Composer Integration-Services workbench, Transport tab /Hierarchy sub-tab, right-click the Axway Server object that represents Integrator and then select Channel from the context menu.
  2. Composer displays the Channel properties window.
  3. Complete the General tab:
    4. ClosedView fields
    Field Contents
    Name Enter a name for the Channel. For example, SendToSentinel.
    Label Optionally enter a description.
    Status You cannot directly change the status in this field.
    Endpoints
    Terminus1 From the drop-down list, select Axway Server. Then from the Instance field drop-down list, select the Axway Server object that represents the Integrator Server.
    Terminus2 From the drop-down list, select Axway Server. Then from the Instance field drop-down list, select the Axway Server object that represents the Sentinel Server.
    Connection parameters
    Connection type This field displays TCP / QLT-XML
    Connection point 1 Select the Sentinel CommAdapter
    Connection point 2 Select the Sentinel CommAdapter
  4. In the ConnectionPoint 1 tab, in the Receiver or Sender field select the Sender transfer mode. Leave the default values for the other parameters.
  5. Check, save and close the object.
  6. Send the Channel object to production.
  7. Composer sets the object status to committed.

Note: Before you use the Send to Server command on this Channel, you must first use the Send to Server command on the Integrator Axway Server object. Otherwise, you receive an error. This command deploys the configuration of the CommAdapter for Sentinel first.
