Operational data population

At runtime, each message arriving into FTM is recorded as a physical transmission, for which there will be one OBJECT record and one TRANSMISSION record. If the channel is configured to log raw data, the raw data of the message can be recorded in the transmission DATA field.

Each outgoing message is recorded as a physical transmission, for which there will be one OBJECT record and one TRANSMISSION record.

If an inbound or outbound physical transmission contains batches, there will be an OBJECT and BATCH record pair for each batch contained in the physical transmission.

Each individual transaction in a physical transmission, or batch, is recorded by a OBJECT and TRANSACTION record pair.

Each OBJECT has a MASTER_FLAG property. This is usually used to indicate the object (physical transmission, batch, or transaction) that correspond to the original request that drives the business case (such as Trade, Payment, and so on). Subsequent objects resulting from the processing of the master are then not considered to be masters but can be related. A channel can be configured to indicate that all transmissions and contained objects received by that channel should have the master flag set.
