Output - putUDP

 

Description

This DIM takes an input product, serializes it, creates a UDP datagram, and sends it.. Due to the nature of UDP communication receipt of the packet is not guranteed. The entire "send transaction" must fit in a single UDP packet.

Configuration Variables

destinationHost
The host machine where the UDP datagram will be sent.

destinationPort

The port to talk to the host on.

compressionLevel

The level of compression to use (0 - 9).  0 = no compression,  9 = max compression

How it works

This DIM uses Java serialization to turn the outgoing product into a byte array.  A UDP datagram is then created with the byte array as content.  The datagram is then sent.
