Endpoint packaging page

The endpoint packaging page displays all of the endpoint packaging configurations that are defined for the receiving points of the participant. Authorized users can create, update, and delete an endpoint packaging configuration by using the endpoint packaging page. Endpoint packaging configurations are not available for sidepoints.

An endpoint packaging allows the user to assign a transmission definition and distribution windows to each item mapping that is in the item grouping that is associated with the endpoint. The endpoint packaging must have a configuration for all of the item mappings in that item grouping.

More than one endpoint packaging configuration can be defined for an endpoint, such as when the participant has RDFI groupings. For example, an endpoint can have an endpoint packaging that applies to a specific RDFI grouping and a default endpoint packaging that applies to the rest of the RDFIs. Each endpoint with an item grouping must have a default endpoint packaging before the participant version can be activated.

The rows on the page expand and collapse to show or hide the item-mapping configurations that are defined for the endpoint packaging.
