Note
To open a Microsoft Access database, you have to use the Load External File task just before the
Execute Data Mapping task.
Note
AFP input is dependent on a third party library (CDP), which only allows PReS Connect to run up
to 4 AFP input processes on a given machine at a given time.
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 PReS Workflow side, Metadata is returned with
information about each record set (see "Metadata in OL Connect jobs" on page69).
Alternatively, it is possible to ignore creation of the Record Set on the OL Connect Server and
simply return an XML file containing the full Record Set structure.
