RenderFaxUnit

Class name

com.ebd.hub.datawizard.iu.RenderFaxUnit


This Integration Unit is able to convert an SFF fax into a TIFF fax. If the fax contains multiple pages, the result will be a multi-page TIFF file. This Integration Unit does not expect any parameters.

The SFF format, as well as the TIFF format, contains binary data, which cannot be parsed. As a consequence, the Integration Unit does not expect the SFF data from the target tree of a mapping. Instead, it directly reads the input data of the job (i.e. the backup file).

Example


A common scenario is receiving a fax and archiving it as a TIFF file. To do so, use a profile with


  • an Input Agent "FAX",

  • the DummyPreParser, in order to not parse the binary data,

  • a minimal mapping, in which the system variable VAR_SENDER is accessible and with the sending ISDN/phone number, in order to derive decisions from it, if applicable,

  • the RenderFaxUnit in phase 5, without any further configurations,

  • a Response with the settings Content: Content of IU and Encoding: 8859_1, to archive or send the generated TIFF file.
