      Good afternoon

      I have a simple question about message routing, in the NetConfig does each route defined create a sub process in a running engine.

      For instance if you have an Inbound Trx ID Determination UPOC that prepends  data from the message route giving you a route such as (DMC|MMC|MIH|SHF)_ADT_A(0[1-8]|1[1-3]) with various route details and then have another route with (GSH|BSC|SHF)_ADT_A(0[1-8]|1[1-3]) with various route details will this create a separate sub process in the running engine eating up more CPU?

          No.  All the routing activity occurs in the translation thread.  There is one translation thread per engine process.

            That’s what I suspected.

              Rob,

              How can I minimize the number of messages that are sent to the translation thread when I have multiple different criteria for different routes? If I have a Trx ID UPOC on the Inbound side that will create a subset of messages for the route as outlined in my above post which is based only on MSH then the only way to route any other messages is from the static_route by doing a generate and creating a route which is now hidden from view?

                As Rob said only one translation thread per process.  The way to “share” the load would be to do multiple processes and send some messages to other the other processes via TCP/IP.  You could use your TRXID logic to raw route some messages to an  OB thread which sends to another process.

                    If you are really worried about this, you can also enable multi-threaded translation.  The options are under the Process configuration in NetConfig.

                      Good call Rob.  Just color me old school 🙂
