Use this feature to forward successfully processed messages from an endpoint to a specific destination endpoint. Forwarding messages is particularly useful in complex upgrade scenarios when the old version and new version of a particular endpoint are running side-by-side.
Auditing vs. Forwarding
Auditing and Forwarding are very similar. Both send a copy of the processed message to another queue. The main difference is the intended usage scenarios.
Auditing is used for collecting information on what is happening in the system. The audited message is enriched with additional information regarding the processing of it. Forwarding would send a copy of the processed message without the additional auditing information.
The forwarded messages do not contain the audit message headers.
Forwarding every message processed
Using code
endpointConfiguration.ForwardReceivedMessagesTo("destinationQueue@machine");
Forwarding a message from the handler
Individual messages can be forwarded directly from the handler:
await context.ForwardCurrentMessageTo("destinationQueue@machine")
.ConfigureAwait(false);
