BE connection monitor and PauseWhenNoBE setting
System connection status to the Business Engine (BE) is monitored in the EC Management Overview page. You view the BE status in the EC_Central and EC_Process nodes. Under the BE column, the view shows a green check-mark icon for active connection, and a red x-mark icon for no connection.
When a receive channel is enabled, IEC listens for
messages on that channel. When a message is received, it is detected to get the correct agreement to use. For messages that require BE connection, received messages will fail if there is no BE connection. When this happens you can set the PauseWhenNoBE property for every receive channel to control that channel to "Pause" when no BE connection is detected.
For an Application property, the BusinessEngineResolver.pauseChannelEnabled property value controls the receive channel property setting. That is, when the application property is set to false, the PauseWhenNoBE channel property is turned off. And, when the application property is set to true, the PauseWhenNoBE channel property is turned on. So, if there is no BE connection, the channel will pause only if both the application and channel property values are set to "true".
Use these guidelines:
|
Application property
|
Channel property
|
Will the Channel pause? |
|---|---|---|
| false (DEFAULT) | "1" or "true" (DEFAULT) | NO |
| false (DEFAULT) | "0" or "false" | NO |
| true | "1" or "true" (DEFAULT) | YES |
| true | "0" or "false" | NO |
Use these procedures:
For the PauseWhenNoBE channel property, you configure the receive channel setting in PA menu, select Manage > Communications > Receive tab.
