Select the Sources tab and click New. To view a source (acquisition) AIM in the Global Console, you must add it here. The SFM Source Info dialog box appears.
Name (function) – enter the name that defines the source from which SFM gets messages.
Flavor (function) – enter the flavor that defines the source from which the SFM gets messages. This is a user-defined integer between 1 and 4292967295.
The flavor must match a DFC ping function
declared in the application that is references or used by the ping
interval.
Type – select the source type from the Type drop-down list. The source can be an acquisition AIM or another SFM.
Ping Intervals – enter the intervals at which the ping function should check whether the source acquisition AIM is operational. This functions sends out a “heartbeat” (a DFC), which the AIM must recognize and return or be immediately marked as stalled.
Fkey History Length – F-keys are user-supplied foreign keys that endpoints can use to further identify a transaction. Enter the number of previously supplied foreign keys against which this application will check and log.
The SFM does not modify the content of Fkeys that come
with transactions, but it does check the value against the Fkey
history to determine if a transaction is a duplicate for that particular
source. This functionality, known as “Once and Once Only,” prevents
sending duplicate transactions.
If the Fkey History Length is greater than zero,
Click Add to add the SFM source. Click Edit to modify a selected source. Click Delete to remove a selected source from the list
