Defining Outbound Message Types
Refer to Outbound Messages for an overview of this functionality.
Use this page to define basic information about an outbound message type. Open this page using Admin > Integration > Outbound Message Type. You are brought to a query portal with options for searching for outbound message types.
Note:
This page is not available if the External Message module is turned off.
Once an outbound message type has been selected, you are brought to the maintenance portal to view and maintain the selected record.
The Outbound Message Type zone provides basic information about an outbound message type. Besides the code and description, the outbound message type captures the outbound message business object and the relative priority of the outbound message. The priority is only applicable if the outbound message is processed using OSB. In addition, if the outbound message type is linked to any web service categories, they are displayed.
CAUTION:
Important! When adding new records, carefully consider the naming convention of the outbound message type code. Refer to System Data Naming Convention for more information.
Note that in addition to standard actions available on this portal, there is also a special Add to Category button in the page action area. Click this button to link an outbound message type to one or more web service categories.
The External System Links zone is visible if the outbound message type is linked to any external systems.
