ELOxc has flexible configuration options. It offers a variety of parameters for setting the frequency and scope with which the service is processed, data granularity, and archiving. The configuration of a service is broken down into separate instances, which can run independently of one other. Each instance contains the definition of the underlying processing control, a catalog of available data sources and any number of action trees. Each action tree consists of an element selection based on the corresponding data source catalog and hierarchically arranged actions that are applied to each individual element of the selection for the corresponding action tree.
