Release rules determine how to release delayed events.
There are multiple types of release rules:
Release as One Rule.
This rule specifies how to release the delayed events and which parameters
B2B Data Exchange
passes to the PowerCenter workflow. You can select from the following options:
Concatenate all delayed event documents in a single file. The file has one new root event, and the list of delayed event documents is separated by a rule-provided separator.
Prepare a list of input files and pass it by reference to a PowerCenter batch workflow that expects an indirect set of sources. Specify which event attribute contains the source file name. You can also pass the original Event ID for each delayed event to the PowerCenter workflow.
If you do not specify a Release as One Rule,
B2B Data Exchange
releases each event one by one.
Maximum Volume Rule.
This rule specifies that the events are released in groups, and specifies the maximum number of events for each group.
Order By Rule.
This rule lets you specify the order to use when releasing delayed events. Specify an event attribute that determines the order in which the events are released. The order of events can be either ascending or descending. You can choose the data format for comparing the event attribute values: string, number, or date. For example, release events by creation date/time, starting with the earliest event.
The operator can define multiple release rules, provided that there is just one of each type.
