the right one is used.
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, as well as the time required for the
cleanup process. However, since the data is not written to the database, there is no
way to do post-processing on the extracted data. Any post-processors defined in the
data mapping configuration will be disabled.
This option is unchecked by default.
Note
When the data mapping configuration provides multiple records, the preview
is created based on the first record.
Note
The Create Preview PDF plugin cannot parse Workflow automation variables.
Instead it uses the default values set up in the Preprocessor of the data mapping
configuration.
To work around this issue you could either convert the posted data file into JSON,
add the variables and use the JSON string option in the Create Preview PDF
plugin, or you could add the variables to the data file and let the data mapping
configuration extract them.
Another alternative would be to use the "All In One" on page494 task.
l
JSON string sets the data source to a JSON string (see "Using JSON" on the next page).
A text area is shown allowing the user to enter the JSON string.
The JSON string may contain local and global variables, Job Infos and data selections
(see "JSON string samples" on page513).
A single variable can be used, assuming that the respective variable contains a JSON
string.
In case the JSON string is not a valid JSON object, the plugin will error out with an explicit
