Adding a Listener

How to:

A listener is a component that receives input for a channel from a configured endpoint. Some of the types of listeners that can be employed by iSM are: AQ, AS2, Email, File, FTP (server and client), HTTP, Queuing (including MQ, JMS, MSMQ, Rabbit), SQL, SOAP and TCP (half and full duplex)

For more information on configuring listener properties, see the iWay Service Manager Protocol Guide.

Procedure: How to Add a Listener

To add a listener:

  1. In the left console pane of the Registry menu, select Listeners.

    The Listeners pane opens, as shown in the following image.

    The table that is provided lists any existing listeners and a short description for each.

  2. Click Add.

    The Listener Type pane opens.

  3. Select a type of listener from the list, for example, EMAIL, then click Next.

    The configuration parameters pane for the EMAIL listener opens.

  4. Provide the required configuration parameters for the new listener, and click Next.

    The Name and Description pane opens.

  5. Provide a name and, optionally, a description, for the listener, and click Finish.

    The listener is added to the list in the Listeners pane.

    After a listener is added to iWay Service Manager, you can assign a listener to an inlet that is used to construct a channel. For more information, see Configuring Channels.
