Designing XAI Senders

XAI senders are responsible for define outgoing message destinations and for " responding" to the XAI executer.

For NDS messages, the sender to use is defined on the XAI route type for the notification download profile.
For outbound messages, the sender to use is defined on the external system/ outbound message type collection.
For responding to the XAI executer, the sender to use is defined on the receiver.

For each sender, you must reference an appropriate XAI class. The information in this section describes the sender classes that are provided with the system.

You must create senders to "respond" to the various staging table receivers in the system.

Create a sender to be used for "responses" to messages processed by the staging control receiver. You should create one sender, which points to the XAI Class UPLDERRHNDLR. Refer to Staging Control Sender for more information about this sender.
Create a sender to be used for "responses" to messages processed by the upload staging receiver. You should create one sender, which points to the XAI Class STGSENDER. Refer to Staging Upload Sender for more information about this sender.
Create a sender to be used for messages processed by the download staging receiver. You should create one sender, which points to the XAI Class DWNSTGSNDR. (DWNSTGSNDR is not available in all products.)
Create a sender to be used for messages processed by the outbound message receiver. You should create one sender, which points to the XAI Class OUTMSGSNDR. Refer to Outbound Message Sender for more information about this sender.

Note: Sample Data for Initial Install. When first installing the system, sample XAI senders for each of the above "response" conditions are provided. Your implementation may use these records or remove them and create your own.

Next, design the senders for "responses" to other receivers, for example the JMS queue receiver or JMS topic receiver. The system provides XAI classes to use for these senders. Use the class JMSSENDER for a JMS queue sender and TPCSNDR for a JMS topic sender.

Finally, review all your outgoing messages and determine the mechanism for communicating with the target system for each message.

For all senders that are used for real time messages, define a context entry with a context type of Response Time Out to define the amount of time the system should wait for a real time response.

The topics below describe configuration required for senders that route a message via an HTTP sender, a flat file sender or an email sender.
