Target and Targets

Target

A target is a container for all information necessary to send messages to other DSF instances. This information includes:

• Organization Identifier: Identifier of an Organization Resource. Can be acquired through the API's OrganizationProvider or by querying a FHIR server (usually the DSF FHIR server) using a FhirWebserviceClient provided by the API's FhirWebserviceProvider.
• Endpoint Identifier: Identifier of an Endpoint Resource with the managingOrganization being the same organization as the one from the Organization Identifier above. Can be acquired through the API's EndpointProvider or by querying a FHIR server (usually the DSF FHIR server) using a FhirWebserviceClient provided by the API's FhirWebserviceProvider.
• Endpoint URL: The URL of the endpoint. The Endpoint Resource provides this value through its address field.
• Correlation Key: A value used to correlate messages, that are sent to this target, to their correct process instances. More information on this mechanism can be found in Message Correlation.

Targets

Targets is a container class for a collection of Target objects. It also provides utility methods for manipulating the underlying collection.
