Edit a source
To edit the properties and configuration of an existing source, do the following:
1. Either from the Start menu or the desktop shortcut, open the XProtect Transact
Administrator window.
2. On the Sources tab, select the required source and click Edit....
3. In the Edit Source window, change the necessary (see "The Create/Edit Source window" on
page 19) settings for the selected source.
4. Click OK to save the changes.
Delete a source
To delete a source, do the following:
1. Open the XProtect Transact Administrator window.
2. On Sources tab, select the required source and click Delete....
3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
Suspend/resume a source
When the source is running, you can click the Suspend button to stop the source. Since you only
have Connection License Keys to view a certain number of sources simultaneously, this could be a
reason for you to stop one source so you can start another. See Licensing (on page 10) for more
information.
You can start or stop the connection from a suspended or running source selected in the transaction
sources list. On the XProtect Transact Administrator window's Sources tab you can see whether
your sources are running or suspended.
IMPORTANT: While the source is suspended, no transaction data will be fed from the source to the
XProtect Transact Server and onwards to the client applications.
When the source is suspended, the button changes to Resume. Clicking the Resume button will lift
the suspension, and data will again be fed from the source to the XProtect Transact Server and
onwards to the client applications (provided the XProtect Transact Server service is running). See
Managing server service settings (on page 15) for more information.
Refresh the status of sources
If a source is unavailable, the source in question will be displayed as Disabled on the Sources tab.
When the source is available again, click the Refresh button to refresh the displayed status of the
source in XProtect Transact Administrator window.
The Create/Edit Source window
Much of the content of the Create/Edit Source window is the same regardless of which type of source
you are creating or editing.
