Process: The name of the target process to send current job to. Note that startup and subprocesses are
not available.
Note: The called process will escape its first node, the input task, since its data, job files and job information
come from the calling process. This implies escaping the called process's default job information as well as its
process schedule, since the first node is simply never executed, and those values are never initialized.
10.1.20 Emulated Data Splitter Action Task Properties
Emulated Data Splitter action tasks are used to split emulated data files (with the exception of XML and
database data files - refer to XML Splitter Action Task Properties or Database Splitter Action Task Properties)
into multiple data files that are passed to subsequent tasks in the process.
Emulated Data Splitter action tasks are used to split emulated data files (with the exception of XML and
database data files - refer to XML Splitter Action Task Properties (Page 184) or Database Splitter Action Task
Properties (Page 186)) into multiple data files that are passed to subsequent tasks in the process.
The data received by the process is typically prepared for a given output device using a pre-set emulation. In
some cases, the data’s original emulation may also have been changed by a Change emulation action task
(see Change Emulation Action Task Properties (Page 195)).
Using an emulation to format the data before splitting provides the most splitting options, but slows down the
process. Splitting a data file containing a few hundred thousand pages may take several hours. So you may
choose to use non-emulated data to speed up the splitting process (see In-Stream Splitter Action Task
Properties (Page 178)).
Emulated Data Splitter action task properties are as follows:
General tab
Split data file on emulated page group: Select to split the data file based on pages (rather than on a word
found within the emulated data) and to activate the option from this group, which is used to tailor exactly how
you want the page based splitting process to take place.
Page(s) per output: Enter the number of pages to include in the file generated by the splitter in this edit
box below or use the spin buttons.
Split data file on a word group : Select to split the data file whenever a given word is found within the
emulated data file (rather than on based on pages), or whenever the word found at a given location changes,
and to activate the options from this group, which are used to tailor exactly how you want the word based
splitting process to take place.
Word change: Select if you want the data file to be split when the word found at a given location changes.
Get: Click to go to the Data Selector and select the location associated with the Word change option.
Specific word: Enter the word to use as the splitting criteria. In this variable property box, you may enter
static characters, variables, job information elements or any combination of these. You may also use the Get
Data button to get a static string of characters from the sample data file. If you use this option, the
coordinates of the data you will select will be added to the From line, To line, From column and To column
boxes below.
From line: Enter a value corresponding to the first line on which the splitter must start searching for the
word.
To line: Enter a value corresponding to the last line on which the splitter must start searching for the word.
From column: Enter a value corresponding to the first column in which the splitter must start searching for
the word.
