This task is a combination of the 4 different OL Connect tasks that are normally used in
conjunction to generate Print output: "Execute Data Mapping" on page628, "Create Print
Content" on page616, "Create Job" on page605, and "Create Output" on page607.
Combining them in a single task makes creating Print content easier and faster, as the task is
optimized for this specific purpose. It exchanges less data with the server than the separate
plugins do and it has multi-threading support: it can produce the data set and content items in
parallel.
The task is build with 4 tabs that represent the main steps of the creation of a Print Output: Data
Mapping, Content Creation, Job Creation and Output Creation.
This task can be added as an Action task (see "Action tasks" on page379) or as an Output task
(see "Output tasks" on page654). Adding it as an Action task enables the process or branch to
continue after this task. An Output task is always located at the end of a process or branch.
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.
