Often when a new system is brought into an existing integration the messages for the last few months or years are replayed to bring the system up to speed. Iguana X provides a solution for this in the form of log resubmission.

title | STEP 1 : Add a destination component |

|
From the previous parts, we have a component set up with 5 years of log data. In order to try this out, we will need another component. From Iguana X’s dashboard, click + Component In the Add Components dialog that pops up, select Custom, which should be the first option Then click Add in the bottom right of the dialog You should see a new component appear on the dashboard Image Added |

title | STEP 2 : Link the components together |

|
Now we will need to link the two components together so that messages can be pushed from one component to another . Assuming Source is the component with the logs and Destination is the component created above, do this by: From Iguana X’s dashboard, click Edit Connections First click Source , then click Destination A link should appear connecting the two, with the arrow on the link pointing from Source to Destination Click on Edit Connections again to exit this mode Image Added |

|
Now that the components are linked, we can reposition the queue. From Iguana X’s dashboard, double click on Source to bring up the component card In the Queue Position row click reposition - Image Added
Use the date picker to go back in time 5 years Once you have a valid start reposition time, click reposition to reposition the queue - Image Added
Exit out of the reposition dialog and then exit out of the component card. This can take a few seconds.

title | STEP 4: Turn on the Destination Component to begin the reposition |
---|
|
For Destination the QUE column on the dashboard should read some large number of days depending on how far back the queue was repositioned Going to the Logs tab and selecting Destination as the component, you should see a log message showing that a new queue position was accepted - Image Added
Going back to the dashboard and running the Destination component by toggling the switch, the component will begin to process messages from its queue and the QUE value will start to decrease - Image Added
