How to: Skip some transactions

It is possible to configure the postback system to skip every N transaction of either a specific offer, or globally.

This can be configured either in the postback_conf table on mysql database on central, or in the legacy admin panel on section "Postback configuration".

This mechanic is implemented in the mid.com/konnektive/skipPostback.php file.

Configuration

To create a rule for all offers (a global rule), use null as the offer id.

To create a rule for one specific offer, use the offer id as the offer id. This rule takes precedence over the global rule.

Rule precedence

When a transaction is being processed, the mechanic fetches 2 rules: the global rule and the offer-specific rule.

The rule applied is selected with this logic:

1. If there is an offer-specific rule, it will be used.
2. If there is no offer-specific rule, the global rule will be used.
3. If there is no offer-specific rule and no global rule, the mechanic will disable itself for this one transaction. Meaning the transaction will not be skipped by this mechanic.
4. If both rules exist, offer-specific rule will be used.
