Step 5. Create the PowerCenter Workflow and Session

Create the workflow and the session that runs the mapping. You create the workflow in the same way you create other PowerCenter workflows.

If you use a JMS source, you must configure the session as a real-time session.

In the Workflow Designer, create the workflow and the session object. For general information about creating workflows and sessions, see the

PowerCenter Advanced Workflow Guide

In the

Edit Tasks

dialog box, click the

Properties

tab.

Set the values for the following attributes:

Attribute	Value
Commit Type	Source
Commit Interval	1

In the

Properties

section for the selected source type, define the source attributes.

Set values for the following attributes:

Attribute	Value
Source filename	$InputFile_<eventAttributeValue> The event attribute value must match the value in the source event that B2B Data Exchange sends to the workflow.

If you select a JMS source, set the values for the following attributes:

Attribute	Value
Real-time Flush Latency	1
JMS Queue Reader Mode	Message Consumer

If you select a file source, set the values for the following attributes:

Attribute	Value
Source filename	$InputFile_<eventAttributeValue> The event attribute value must match the value in the source event that B2B Data Exchange sends to the workflow.
