Execute Data Mapping
The Execute Data Mapping action task generates a record set by executing a data mapping
configuration on a data source. It can also automatically create a record set from a PDF/VT file
without using a data mapping configuration.
Input
Optional. Both main options can refer to external files, but either one can be the active data file
using %F. By default the Data Source is set to use the active data file as input.
Note
To open a Microsoft Access database, you have to use the Load External File task just
before the Execute Data Mapping task.
Processing
The task executes the selected data mapping configuration on the appropriate data source, or
converts the PDF/VT into a Record Set directly.
If the data mapping configuration expects a database data source, the Data Source option is
ignored and the database is accessed instead. If a PDF/VT file is used, the data mapping
configuration option is optional - if one is present, it must be able to read the PDF/VT.
Output
The output to this task is twofold. On the OL Connect Server side, a Record Set containing
multiple records is created and saved.
On PlanetPress Workflow's side, Metadata is returned with information about each record set
(see "Note: Metadata in OL Connect jobs" on page75). Alternatively, you can either get an
XML file or JSON file containing the full Record Set structure, or skip storing the Record Set on
the OL Connect Server and run the operation in Validation mode; the validation results are
returned via the Metadata.
