Learn More
A receiver target is a REST web service endpoint set up by a consumer application and is defined by its URL. The target can receive data in one of the two supported formats: JSON or XML. The consumer application that maintains the endpoint also defines whether data should be sent with a mechanism that guarantees delivery. You can define several different targets in a single policy.
Note that you must specify the port as part of the URL, even for the standard HTTP port. For example, if your target is http://computer.company.com/bsmc_data, using the HTTP port, you need to specify http://computer.company.com:80/bsmc_data.
