Rules and restrictions  Acquisition AIM structure

Chapter 1: Overview

Building acquisition AIMs

An acquisition AIM obtains data from a source, packages the data into a transaction, and sends it to the SFM via a distributed function command (DFC). The input source can be a data file generated by another application or an application on an endpoint system.

Figure 1-2: Acquisition AIM flow

Figure 1-2 illustrates this ODL acquisition AIMs object flow:

  1. When the communication object connects to the designated port, it notifies the protocol object of a successful connection.

  2. The protocol object executes the control flow object listed in its Open box and waits to receive data from the communication object.

  3. Once data is received, the protocol object executes the control flow object listed in the Preview box.

  4. The protocol object processes data through the defined message frame and control flow objects, then waits to receive more data from the communication object.

  5. If the communication object looses the connection to the endpoint, the protocol object executes the close flow.

See Chapter 3, “Using MSG-IDE,” for instructions.
