Questions on Channel Writer

[hsingh00]

Hey guys

I've been reading up on the Channel Writer in the forums but the information is limited. What does its exactly do? It seems that it can redirect the response of the channel to another channel by modifying the response map. I guess my question is how do I do that?

This is my setup....

1st channel
LLP listener ---> Database Writer

2nd channel
Database writer ---> Channel Writer set to None(I think it should be)

So I need to send the response of the 2nd channel to the same socket that the LLP connection in the first channel is listening to, even if its via a Custom ACK. I read post about Custom ACKs but those are done on the same Channel the listening is done.

Thanks guys

UPDATE:

Looks like I can use something like this. Of course I'm not getting a ACK though.

var responseVal = responseMap.get('Mirth_2_Gateway');
globalMap.put('custom_ack', ResponseFactory.getSuccessResponse('responseVal'));

I put this in a Javascript Transformer under Destinations tab. I now see "custom_ack" in the drop down menu "Response From", under the other channel I want for to send this message to go to, But I do not get a ACK. Is "var responseVal = responseMap.get('Mirth_2_Gateway') ;" the rite way to get the encoded data to pass to the globalMap?

Thanks

Re:Questions on Channel Writer

This is the code I use to generate a Response:

soapResponseObject=ResponseFactory.getFailureRespo nse('someFailureMessage');
responseMap.put('Soap Response',soapResponseObject);

If you look in the mappings tab in the dashboard for your destination you should see the set response - which is the one you put in the dropdown....

Looking at your first post I think you want a second destination for the LLP listener and send the response from 1 channel - you can have multiple destinations for a channel - it should then reply on that port.
