|
|
7. **Backup**: Regular backups of message archives and configurations
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Workflow Failures
|
|
|
|
1. Check workflow execution logs
|
|
2. Verify connector configurations
|
|
3. Test individual workflow steps
|
|
4. Check database connectivity
|
|
|
|
### Financial Message Errors
|
|
|
|
1. Validate message format
|
|
2. Check routing rules
|
|
3. Verify encryption/decryption
