Managing transaction sources

Edit transaction source settings

After adding a transaction source, you can change the name or select a different transaction definition. Depending on the connector selected, there may be additional settings you can modify, for example the host name and port number of a connected TCP server. In addition, you can disable a transaction source. This will interrupt the flow of transaction data from the transaction source to the event server.

Once you have selected a connector, you cannot change it.

Steps:

  1. In the Site Navigation pane, expand Transact.
  2. Select Transaction sources.
  3. Go to the Overview pane.Click the transaction source. The properties are displayed.
  4. Make the required changes and save them. For more information, see Transaction sources (properties).

Disable transaction sources

You can disable a transaction source, for example if an ATM is temporarily out of order, or a service on a registered cash register is disabled. The flow of transaction data to the event server is disrupted.

Steps:

  1. In the Site Navigation pane, expand Transact.
  2. Select Transaction sources.
  3. Go to the Overview pane.Click the transaction source. The properties are displayed.
  4. Clear the Enable check box and save the changes. The transaction source is disabled.

You can delete the transaction sources you have added. The stored transaction data from that source is deleted from the event server.

As an alternative, you can disable the transaction source to avoid that stored transaction data is deleted. A disabled transaction source also requires a transaction source license.

  2. Select Transaction sources.
  3. Go to the Overview pane.Click the Transaction sources item. Right-click the source you want to delete.
