Outbound pane

Parameter Description
Generate byte mark order This applies to outbound messages only. The encodings that are listed in the previous table have a byte order mark inserted into the outbound message when this is selected. This setting is ignored for other encodings.

This has no effect on which outbound encoding is used. It indicates that additional bytes are added to the messages when the encoding is appropriate. The outbound encoding is defined by Encoding and XML Encoding.

Save Outbound Messages Click this to save outbound message data to a SMAT database file. Messages are saved to this file before sending the message to the receiving system. This provides a backup of the data.

You can configure the file name to populate with a default value by configuring the default value on the Client Preferences NetConfig/NetMonitor tab. Click Advanced to open the Configure Default Values dialog box. Select an option from the menu, or specify one in the field.

For example, a thread named conn_1 has values of @threadname@_in and @threadname@_out. When Save Outbound Messages is selected, the file names automatically populate with conn_1_in and conn_1_out.

File Specify the file name of the SMAT file, if Save Outbound Messages is selected. This file is located in %HCISITEDIR\exec\processes\processname\smat file name.
Message Archiving This archives the outbound message after SMAT messages are saved and after the pre-write TPS has finished. Outbound messages are archived in UTF-8 encoding, not the original encoding. For the Multi-Byte version, the messages are archived after the change from the UTF-8 internal format to outbound encoding.

These messages should not be used for resending to system threads.

Message archiving is independent from SMAT.
