Using provisioning facts

About this task

To use provisioning facts:

Procedure

  1. When you create a routing channel template, use the Provisioning Facts tab to create a provisioning fact. The provisioning fact name must start with "my". Valid characters are alphanumeric in English only and the hyphen.
  2. Refer to the fact created in step 1 using the “${myfactname}” notation in the producer mailbox path, consumer mailbox path, or the “File name format” field within the layers of the consumer file structure.
  3. During creation of a routing channel, the user is prompted for the value to be assigned to the fact.
  4. The value of the fact is substituted for the references used in the producer mailbox path, consumer mailbox path, or the consumer file structure. It also becomes a fact attached to the executing route and can be used like a discovered fact, for example as input to a custom layer.
