Setting the Tech Priority
The setting of an objects Tech Priority varies depending on whether the object is an inbound or outbound object.
For inbound objects, the Tech Priority is set by the:
- Mapper: A mapper can be used to set a Tech Priority for an inbound object. The EndMapper2 component is used to insert the object with the Tech Priority that is assigned by the mapper. The value set in the mapper is given priority over values set elsewhere.
- Channel: A channel can specify a default Tech Priority, which is applied to the physical transmissions and
their subsequent transactions if there isn't a Tech Priority provided by the mapper.
- Application: An application can be configured with a default Tech Priority, which is used in certain
situations where a specific Tech Priority is not available or easily acquirable. For example, in EndMapper2,
if neither the channel nor mapper provides a Tech Priority, the application's default Tech Priority is
used.
For outbound objects, the application code has the ultimate responsibility for creating the outbound object and therefore should provide a suitable Tech Priority upon creation.
