Adding Boolean controls

You can add a Boolean type control when you need an integration control that specifies a value of true or false. An enterprise service or a publish channel can use this Boolean control in its processing rule evaluations. The true or false value that you assign to the control determines whether an enterprise service or a publish channel applies a processing rule on a transaction.

Procedure

  1. In the Enterprise Services or the Publish Channels application, select the Create Integration Controls action.
  2. Click Add New Control > Add New Boolean Control.
  3. Specify an identifier and description for the Boolean control.
  4. Specify whether you want the Boolean control to have a default value of true or false.
    Option Default True
    True value Selected
    False value Cleared
  5. Click OK to close the Boolean Control dialog box.
  6. Click OK to close theCreate Integration Controls dialog box.

Example

You can use a Boolean control to indicate whether enterprise services or publish channels receive or send purchase order transactions. You can set a processing rule action on the enterprise services or publish channel to skip a transaction. If the default value that you assign to the Boolean control is true, and the processing rule evaluation is true, the enterprise services or publish channel receives and sends purchase order transaction updates.

What to do next

You can associate an integration control with an enterprise service or a publish channel in the Enterprise Services or Publish Channels application. This association makes the integration control available for inbound and outbound message processing. You can also associate an integration control to an external system in the External Systems application. The value that you define on the control at the external level overwrites the control value that is defined at the enterprise service or publish channel level.
