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.
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's side, Metadata is returned with information about each record set (see
"Metadata in OL Connect jobs" on page71).
Alternatively, it is possible to skip storing the Record Set on the OL Connect Server and either
get an XML file containing the full Record Set structure, or run the operation in Validation mode
and get the validation results via the Metadata.
