specifically to communicate with the Server component of PlanetPress Connect or
PReSConnect.
OLConnect includes a set of automation tasks to communicate with the Server component and
automate certain tasks such as creating record sets, generating contents and generating output.
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": 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.
