Terminals and properties

The Change Data Capture node terminals are described in the following table.

Terminal	Description
Failure	The output terminal to which a message is routed if an error occurs before a message is propagated to the Out terminal.
Out	If no errors occur within the input node, a message that is received from an external resource is always sent to the Out terminal first.
Catch	The output terminal to which the message is routed if an exception is thrown downstream and caught by this node. Exceptions are caught only if this terminal is attached.

The following tables describe the node properties that you can set on a specified tab. The column headed M indicates whether the property is mandatory (marked in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit with an asterisk if you must enter a value when no default is defined). The column headed C indicates whether the property is configurable (you can change the value when you add the message flow to the BAR file to deploy it).
