Configuring Emitters

How to:

You can configure Service Manager to emit messages over many different protocols. After you configure the emitter, you assign it to an Outlet, which you then incorporate into a channel. The procedures in this section list the steps required to configure an emitter, using the file emitter as an example, and to assign an emitter to an outlet.

The outlet to which you want to add the emitter must be created before you assign an emitter to it.

For more information on creating and configuring outlets and creating and configuring channels, see the iWay Service Manager User's Guide.
