Message format

This tab is only available for tasks defined with a supported streaming endpoint.

When a task is defined with such an endpoint, you can specify a custom message format that will override the default Replicate message format. This may be useful if the consumer application needs to process the message in a particular format.

The custom message format can be defined at task level and/or at table level. When it is defined at both task and table level, the message format defined for the table will take precedence over the message format defined for the task.

To define a custom message at table level:

1. Select a table.
2. Open the Table Settings window as described in Table Settings.
3. Select the Message Format tab and click the Change to Table Policy button.
4. Configure the message format as described in Message Format.
5. To use the message format defined for the task, click the Change to Task Policy button.

For information on defining a custom message at task level, see Message Format.
