Postprocessor step
The Postprocessor step allows the application to further process the resulting record set after the entire extraction workflow has been executed, using JavaScript.
For example, a postprocessor can export all or parts of the data to a CSV file which can then be used to generate daily reports of the Connect Workflow processes that use this data mapping configuration (see Data mapping configurations).
A postprocessor could also write the results of the extraction process to a file and immediately upload that file to a Workflow process.
The Postprocessor step can contain any number of postprocessors.
To add a postprocessor:
- Select the Postprocessor step on the Steps pane.
- On the Step properties pane, under Postprocessor, click the Add button
. - Under Postprocessor definition, add the script. Postprocessor tasks must be written in JavaScript (see Using scripts in the DataMapper and DataMapper Scripts API).
