Document tracking support within EBICS Services provides you with a document-centric view of the entire EBICS messaging process. This gives you the ability to monitor the workflow not only from a business process point of view, but also from the actual document point of view.
In a single view, you can see how the document is transformed from one form to another withinSterling B2B Integrator, and how the request and response document correlate with each other.
- In the Deadline Settings page, set the deadline and notification options, if necessary.
- In the Life Span page, set the life span, if necessary.
The Data Flow Monitoring feature inSterling B2B Integratorenables you to view the inbound and outbound EBICS data flows. You can correlate and view the transformation of an incoming request document. You can also see the extracted information related to the incoming request document.
