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 IguanaX provides a solution for this in the form of log resubmission.

titleSTEP 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

    • It is recommended to change the name of the component. This guide proceeds assuming you renamed it Destination

  • Then click Add in the bottom right of the dialog

  • You should see a new component appear on the dashboard

titleSTEP 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

titleSTEP 3 : Reposition the queue

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 Removed
  • Use the date picker to go back in time 5 years

    • An Error can appear:

      Fix: If you see that, then just increment the day by 1 until the error is gone.

  • Once you have a valid start reposition time, click reposition to reposition the queue

    • Image Removed
  • Exit out of the reposition dialog and then exit out of the component card. This can take a few seconds.

  • 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 Removed
  • 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 Removed
Good luck - we’re interested to see if you can figure this out from the user interface!

Info

In order to reposition a component queue you need to have linked components (at minimum a source and destination component) with log data.
