Working with Purely Binary Input Data

If an input file contains not only characters with a defined character encoding, but binary, coded or encrypted data, it cannot be parsed. It is not possible to process information in this file, using the profile in the usual way. Example: PDF files, image files (JPG, TIFF, GIF, etc.), MS Word documents.

However, if checkbox No mapping is selected, phases 2 to 5 are skipped and profiles can work as a data pump, picking up files in phase 1 and then sending them to a target system in phase 6, as received. Note: Because phase 3 (mapping) is skipped, there are no profile variables available in the Response Routes, only system variables. If you need phases 2-5, use checkbox Data routing.
