The next step is to create the channel that routes messages to a file. To create this channel:

• Click the Dashboard tab.
• In the Dashboard Control Panel, click Add Channel. The Add Channel screen appears.
• From the Source list box, select From Channel.
• From the Destination list box, select To File. The Add Channel screen now looks like this:

• Click Configure Channel. The Configure New Channel screen appears:

• In the Channel name field, type tutorial3.
• Click the Source tab. The Source: From Channel panel appears:

• From the Add a Source Channel list box, select tutorial. This indicates that messages will be routed from the tutorial channel to this channel.
• Click the Destination tab. The Destination: To File panel appears:

• In the Destination directory field, type the complete directory path of the directory into which you want to write the file (such as D:\sample).
• From the Write each message to list box, select A single file.
• In the File field, type message.txt. (You can use any name you like, as long as you remember this name when you are testing the connection.)
• Click Add Channel to create the channel.

Now that you have created all your channels, you are ready to test your routing configuration.
