Note
When added as an Output task, the All In One plugin works asynchronously to the Workflow
process.
Task properties
Data Mapper Tab
The Data Mapper step generates a Record Set from a specific source: data mapping on the
appropriate source (Current Data File, Database or PDF/VT data file), Retrieving items from the
Connect Database (filter setting) or uses the current job Metadata. The resulting Record Set is
given to the Content Creation part of the task. In order to optimize the process, blocks of 100
records are sent sequentially to the Content Creation in parallel, instead of waiting for the
whole record set to be created.
l
Source: Indicates the source of the Record Set Metadata:
l
Data Mapping Configuration: Executes data mapping on the appropriate source.
Select the appropriate data mapping configuration in the list:
l
"None": Select to execute default, basic data mapping on the input PDV/VT
file.
l
"%o": Select to use a dynamic data mapping configuration name. Click on %o
to change the expression that determines the name of the data mapping
configuration to use. Right-click it to open the contextual menu that allows to
select variables, data and lookup functions (see "Data selections" on
page48).
l
Configuration Names: Select the appropriate data mapping configuration.
Adding configurations is done through the Send to Workflow option in the
DataMapper Module.
Click the Open data model of selected configuration button to view the data
model attached to the configuration in the Data Mapper module, to verify that
the right one is used. Only works for configurations listed (will not work for
"None" or "Dynamic" options).
l
No storing or post-processing of the data records (faster): This option
prevents data from being written to the database. Instead, records are
streamed directly into the Content Creation process for immediate merging.
Turning this feature on can improve data mapping performance significantly,
