Group	Integration Units
Function	This Integration Unit can be used to create text documents in Open Document format.

Description

Introduction: Integration Units. Set the Content in the Content settings of a Response Route in phase 6 to Output of IU.

The ODTCreatorUnit can be used to create text documents in Open Document format. This is supported by a number of office packages and text processors, among others OpenOffice 2.0.

The office document will be created on the basis of a template file, which can simply be created in OpenOffice as a text document, for example. This document has to be stored as a regular text document and not as a template within OpenOffice.

Parameter name	Allowed values	Default value	Description

An example for parameter file pattern:

For invoice<yyyy><MM><dd>_<HH><mm>
