Key Capabilities
- Creates multiple processing paths from single input messages
- Visual flow branching with unlimited output connections
- Maintains original message content across all output paths
Overview
Copy connectors are primarily configured visually in the flow designer. When you connect a Copy connector to other connectors in the flow, messages that reach the Copy connector are sent to all connected connectors. This allows files to be processed by multiple flows. When you add a Copy connector, it automatically creates two output nodes. To add more, click Add Copy. If an output node does not have a connection associated with it, messages remain in the Output folder for that node.Connector Configuration

Logging
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Log Messages | Check this to have the log entry for a processed file include a copy of the file itself. If you disable this, you might not be able to download a copy of the file from the Transactions tab. |
| Log Level | The verbosity of logs generated by the connector. When you request support, set this to Debug. |
| Log Subfolder Scheme | Instructs the connector to group files in the Logs folder according to the selected interval. The Weekly option (which is the default) instructs the connector to create a new subfolder each week and store all logs for the week in that folder. Leaving this setting blank tells the connector to save all logs directly in the Logs folder. For connectors that process many transactions, using subfolders helps keep logs organized and improves performance. |
Other Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Processing Delay | The amount of time (in seconds) by which the processing of files placed in the Transactions tab is delayed. This is a legacy setting. Best practice is to use a File connector to manage local file systems instead of this setting. |
