TargetRule Settings

The data object specified in the output card defines the output data. The

TargetRule settings define how and where the output data is routed.

To define card-specific output data routing, define the TargetRule settings for

each output card. TargetRule settings specify where to send the data, and what

to do when an error occurs.

An output card represents an output target. The content of an output is a data

object such as a table of customer records in a database, or a message that

contains a business transaction, or a file of records. The content of an output card

is defined with the CardName, TypeTree and Type settings. These settings

define what the data is, but does not specify how to route the data. The Target,

Transaction, and Retry card settings are some of the TargetRule settings that

define how and where the output data is routed.
