DataConnect agent
The DataConnect Agent checks entries in the DataConnect Job Control table and runs those entries in Ready state. In the TRIRIGAWEB.properties file, the DATACONNECT_SLEEP_TIME property for the application server that is running the DataConnect Agent controls how often the agent checks the DataConnect Job Control table.
When it finds a job in the DataConnect
Job Control table (DC_JOB) in the Ready state, the DataConnect Agent
takes the following steps:
- Creates a record for the record indicated in the DataConnect job entry. This record is an instance of the Job Control business object that is created in the triDataConnectJob module.
- Populates the record with information from the job entry, including job number, job type, source system ID, process system ID, create date, updated date, user, and state.
- Sets the state of the DataConnect Job Control table entry to Processing.
- Posts the workflow event SYSTEM DC PROCESS JOB along with the record, which triggers the workflow.
- If there are issues with the DataConnect Job Control table entry or with creating the Job Control business object, the state for the DC_JOB table entry is set to Failed. The reason for failure is logged in the server.log. When the issue is fixed, you can try to run the job again from within the administrator console.
