Monitor confirmation is a processor that monitors incoming receipt confirmations (generated by Unpack job) and matches them against a copy of the packed data (generated by Pack job) waiting in its input folder. When no confirmation is received after a certain amount of time, tool can be setup to retry the communication (that is, send another copy of the packed data).
See Acknowledged job hand-off for an example of how to use this tool.
