Destinations Tab

Prerequisites

  • You have created a destination system and defined the connection data.

  • If you are using enhanced notification processing, you first need to have created a destination system for the notification enhancement on the Notification Processing tab of the agent instance. (See Enhanced Notification Processing.)

Context

On this tab, you enter the destination systems that you want the notification to use. In the notification process, you configure one or multiple destination systems to which you want the notification messages to be sent.

The Destinations tab is used to configure a notification as well as to configure a notification template.

Procedure

  1. On the Plant Connectivity Management Console screen, select a notification and click on the Destinations tab.
  2. Click the Add Destination System icon.

    The Add Destination dialog box appears.

  3. In the dropdown box, select the destination system that you want to use for your notification.

    There is a detailed procedure for the following destination systems:

    Destination Systems
    Destination System Description

    SAP MII Destination System (Deprecated)

    		 Choose the MII destination system and enter the MII transaction. See: Define Data for SAP MII System.

    Calling MII Transactions Using Web Services

    		 To be able to call an MII transaction in an MII system as part of a notification process, SAP recommends that you create one of the following destination systems and select it here on the Destinations tab:

    • Universal Web service destination system

    • Multiple call destination system

    • OPC UA destination system

    See also: Assignment of Notification Output (Call of MII Transactions).

    Universal Web Service Destination System

    		 Select the universal WS destination system. See: Assignment of Notification Output (Universal WS Destination System).

    Multiple Call Destination System

    		 Select the multiple call destination system. See: Assignment of Notification Output (Multiple Call Destination System).

    OPC UA Destination System

    		 Select the OPC UA destination system. See: Assignment of Notification Output (OPC UA Destination System).

    Enhanced Notification Processing (ENP)

    		 Select the /Enhanced Notification Processing entry (see: Assignment of Modules and Variables (ENP).)

    ODBC Destination System

    		 See: Assignment of Destination System Variables (ODBC Destination System).

    Web Service Destination System (Deprecated)

    		 See: Assignment of Notification Output (WS Destination System).

  4. Choose a name and a description for the destination system assignment.

    The name of the destination system assignment is relevant if you have assigned multiple destination systems in a tag-based notification and have selected the Process Notification Messages Exactly Once in Order setting. In this case, the name of the destination system assignment determines the sequence in which notification messages are placed in the queue.

  5. Assign output expressions to the destination system variables in the Output Destination Mapping area and, if necessary, make further settings for the destination system.
  6. Click OK.
