Understanding Asset Inbound Communication Types

Asset inbound communication types define the information required for the system to receive messages from external systems. These typically hold value mappings of the inbound communication elements to an xpath element in the completion message.

Asset inbound communication types are defined by:

• Inbound Communication Business Object: The business object used for asset inbound communications of this type
• Exception Handling: Details regarding exception handling for asset inbound communications of this type, including default To Do Type, To Do Role, and retry options.
• Message Validation: Source elements within the inbound communication business object or raw message used for validation of asset inbound communications of this type
• Communication Data Mapping: Information used to populate communication business object elements from information within the communication's raw message
• Attachment Suppression: Substitution text used in place of large data attachments in the completion event list on the inbound communication. Used when messages received from an external system contain attachment data that are very large.
