Report
For input and request links, use this property to specify the report information that the connector sends in the message header. For output links, use the Value sub-property to specify the value used to filter report messages.
For input links, this property specifies the value that is set in the message header. You can select multiple values from this list by clicking the property and then click one or more check boxes. When you finish, click outside of this property.
For request links, the Report value defines how the message identifier and the correlation identifier of the reply message correspond to the message identifier and the correlation identifier of the request message. By default, the correlation identifier of the reply message must match the message identifier of the request message.
There is no default value. If this value is blank for an input link, the default value for the target message is used.
You can use different ways to specify this value for input links:
- Specify the value at the job level. You type the value in this property, which sets the value at design time for all messages in this job. If, for some reason, you also specify the data element as a column in the schema (see below), the data element takes precedence over the property.
- For input links, you can specify the value at the message level. Instead of this property, you specify a column in the schema for this value by selecting the corresponding value (see below) as the Data element value on the Columns tab. The value that is stored in each incoming message is then used during runtime processing when it is put on the queue. The value in the input link schema overrides the design-time value of this property at runtime.
The data element for this property is WSMQ.REPORT.
