Stoptheprocessingofthecurrentrecordandmoveontothenextone.Normallyanextraction
workflowisautomaticallyexecutedonallrecordsinthesourcedata.Bystoppingtheprocessing
ofthecurrentrecord,youcanfilteroutsomerecordsorskiprecordspartially.Notethatifthe
extractionworkflowhasalreadyextractedsomedatabeforeitgetsstopped,therecordcon-
tainingthatpartialdatawillstillbestoredintheConnectDatabase;toskiparecordentirely,the
Actionstepmustoccurbeforeanydataisextractedforthatrecord.
l
Stopthedatamapping.Iffieldsofthecurrentrecordwerealreadyextracted,thenthosefieldsare
storedasusual,buttherestoftherecordandanyfollowingrecordsareskipped.
TheActionstepcanrunmultiplespecificactionsoneaftertheotherinorder.
Adding an Action step
ToaddanActionstep,right-clickontheStepspaneandselectAdd a Step > Add Action.
Configuring an Action step
ForinformationabouthowtoconfiguretheActionstep,see"Actionstepproperties"onpage333.
Postprocessorstep
ThePostprocessorstepallowstheapplicationtofurtherprocesstheresultingrecordsetaftertheentire
extractionworkflowhasbeenexecuted,usingJavaScript.
Forexample,apost-processorcanexportallorpartsofthedatatoaCSVfilewhichcanthenbeused
togeneratedailyreportsoftheConnectWorkflowprocessesthatusethisdatamappingconfiguration
(see"Datamappingconfigurations"onpage199).
Apost-processorcouldalsowritetheresultsoftheextractionprocesstoafileandimmediatelyupload
thatfiletoaWorkflowprocess.
ThePostprocessorstepcancontainanynumberofpost-processors.
Adding a post-processor
Toaddapost-processor:
l
SelectthePostprocessorstepontheStepspane.
l
OntheStep propertiespane,underPostprocessor,clicktheAddbutton .
l
UnderPostprocessor definition,addthescript.Postprocessortasksmustbewrittenin
