B2B Gateway generates events as it processes messages and files to help you track and monitor the data that you exchange with partners and of acknowledgments that the gateway sends to and receives from partners. The event list provides full visibility into the data exchange and alerts you to errors that might occur.
Task events
Each time B2B Gateway triggers a mapping to run a partner flow, B2B Gateway generates a task event. The event is saved in Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services.
File events
B2B Gateway generates file events for files that it receives and sends. When you exchange EDI messages with partners, you can track EDI groups, and the following message details:
- Functional groups in the file.
Note: For EDIFACT messages, the existence of group level information is optional.
- Messages and transactions that are received and sent in the file.
When B2B Gateway processes custom files with Intelligent Structure Discovery, you can track events for output groups for discovered files.
You can view all events on the Events page. The Events page provides detailed information for every file and message that the system processes.
You can select a specific file event to view more details. When you drill down in an EDI file event, you see details for the messages in the file.
You can use the filter to search for specific events. You can search for events related to a specific partner, or based on event ID, type, or status, time frame, or message type or number.
You can create monitoring rules that monitor events, and notify users on events that are in a defined status, for example, create a monitoring rule that notifies users when events are in an Error status.
