Testing Listeners
In general, you can test listeners to ensure that you have configured them correctly.
*To test a listener
1. Configure a listener using Integration Server Administrator. For instructions on how to configure a listener, see Configuring New Listeners.
2. Configure a listener notification using Designer. For instructions on how to configure a notification, see Configuring Listener Notifications.
3. Enable the listener notification using Integration Server Administrator. For instructions on how to enable a listener notification, see Enabling Listener Notifications.
4. Enable the listener using Integration Server Administrator. For instructions on how to enable a listener, see Enabling Listeners.
5. Make a change in your back-end system to activate the listener. For example, put a message on a queue.
The listener searches for filters and returns messages that match the filter criteria that you specified when you configured the listener on the Configure Listener Type screen. Filtered messages are then sent to the listener notification for further processing.
For more information on how listeners and listener notifications work at run time, refer to the following sections: Listener Transactionality and Runtime Processing of Listeners and Synchronous Listener Notifications.
