All In One
The All In One action task is a combination of 4 different OLConnect tasks within a single one. This makes
creating Print content faster and more easily, as the task is optimized for this specific purpose with less data
exchanged with the server as well as multi-threading support.
The task is build with 3 tabs that represent the 3 main steps of the creation of a Print Output:Data Mapping,
Content Creation and Output Creation. In this case, Job Creation is implied and equivalent to a single
created job.
Data Mapper Tab
The Data Mapper tab 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 ContentCreation
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"filename: 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.
l Configuration Names:Select the appropriate data mapping configuration. Adding
configurations is done through the Send to Workflow option in the DataMapper Module.
l Open data model of selected configuration:Click to view the data model attached to the
configuration in the Data Mapper module, to verity that the right one is used. Only works for
configurations listed (will not work for "None"or "Dynamic"options).
l Filter:Retrieves records from the Connect Database. This is identical to using the Retrieve
Entities task.
l Filter type:Determines at which level to retrieve the records:
l Record:Retrieves one or more Records, whether or not they are part of a Record
Set. Output similar to the Create Record Set task.
l Record Set:Retrieves one or more Record Sets, including all their records. Output
similar to the Create Record Set task.
