Default values for bidirectional communication:
Bidirectional communication (that is, Client – Server – Client communication during file
submission) requires that default values can be used for returning personalized information to
SwitchClient or PitStop Connect.
For example: Default value(s) could be a list of order ID’s coming from an external database and
visualized in a dropdown list. In this case the customers can choose one of their jobs for which
they have submitted the file. This example requires that Switch receives the user ID from the
customer, uses this ID to get information from the database and returns that information (the
order ID list) to SwitchClient or the Connector.
To accomplish this, a new group “Connection group” of variables has been added at the sever
side. The variables are:
[Connection.Role]
[Connection.Email]
[Connection.UserName]
[Connection.FullUserName]
[Connection.Group]
[Connection.IP]
Easily update metadata from Submit point:
Update metadata from a Submit point in a Checkpoint. Submit and Check metadata is written
into separate datasets and Switch 09 is not able to update external metadata. Also Switch will
not be able to edit/ update such datasets. However, Switch makes it easier to re-use metadata
fields from a Submit point in a Checkpoint. The value entered on file submission automatically
becomes the default value for the Checkpoint metadata field.
Configure communication preferences
In the PowerSwitch/ FullSwitch Edit > Preferences dialog box click Internal communication
option:
1. Set the Server name preference to an appropriate name for this instance of PowerSwitch/
FullSwitch. This name is shown to SwitchClient users to differentiate between multiple
PowerSwitch/ FullSwitch instances.
Note that this name is distinct from the host name of the computer that runs PowerSwitch/
FullSwitch. SwitchClient expects the host name to be entered on the Connect panel, but
displays the application's server name in its various data tables.
2. Set the Port for PowerSwitch/ FullSwitch client preference to an appropriate value. SwitchClient
expects the port to be entered on the Connect panel when connecting to a new server. Leave
this setting at its default value (51008) unless users understands why they need to change it.
3. Set the Secure SwitchClient communication preference to "Yes" if you want communication
with SwitchClient to use the secure https protocol (introducing a performance overhead of
approximately 20%); otherwise leave it at the default value "No". SwitchClient automatically
adjusts to this preference setting.
