Phase 6 (introduction)
Standard Process
The data created by Lobster_data can be output via different types of Response Routes. For each profile, any number of Response Routes can be defined. Each of the possible Response Route types can also occur multiple times.
However, a profile does not necessarily need to have a Response Route. This might, for example, be the case if either the Integration Unit already handles all the outputs or the data is only written to a database during the mapping process. The type of a Response Route determines how (e.g. via which network protocol) the file is sent to a target system.
For each Response Route, the content type (i.e. the output format of the transmitted file) can be set individually. This allows a profile job to pass the same data in multiple formats to different destinations, for example, saving it as a CSV file locally and sending it as an XML file (created with the XMLMemSaveTemplateParserUnit) to a server and also sending the input file (as received) to another destination. A postexecuter can be configured for each Response Route, with which the output file can be additionally manipulated.
Note: All Response Routes are usually executed once per job, but you also have the option to do that once per record.
Postexecution
Postexecution at the End of Phase 6
Lobster_data offers the option to optionally call a Java class at the end of phase 6 between the creation of the output file and the actual sending of the file. This class can additionally manipulate the file before sending it.
Postexecution after Integration Unit in Phase 5
It is also possible to call a postexecution class in phase 5 (Integration Unit). The advantage of this method is described there.
Call Preparser Class via Postexecution Class in Phase 6
The postexecution class PreParserPostExecuter allows you to call a preparser class in phase 6.
Examples
Examples can be found in the documentation of the respective postexecution classes.
GUI
The configuration of this phase in the GUI is described in section Phase 6 (GUI).
