22.4 Running More Than One Of These Channels

Since PMDF checks all of the CONVERSIONS , SCRIPT , and DISCLAIMER mapping tables at the same time, it can happen that two or all three of the conversion , script , and disclaimer channels are enabled. Since PMDF can queue a message to only one of these channels, it chooses the channel whose mapping table appears first in the mappings file.

Two or more of the conversion , script , and disclaimer channels can all be run, one after the other, by setting up the channels' mapping tables correctly.

For example, the following mapping tables cause the script channel to run first, followed by the conversion channel.


SCRIPT 
 
  IN-CHAN=tcp_local;OUT-CHAN=l;SCRIPT           Yes 
  IN-CHAN=tcp_local;OUT-CHAN=msgstore;SCRIPT    Yes 
  IN-CHAN=*;OUT-CHAN=*;SCRIPT                   No 
 
CONVERSIONS 
 
  IN-CHAN=script;OUT-CHAN=l;CONVERT             Yes 
  IN-CHAN=script;OUT-CHAN=msgstore;CONVERT      Yes 
  IN-CHAN=*;OUT-CHAN=*;CONVERT                  No
