Runtime jobs

A Runtime job is a grouping of one or several Message configurations in a Runtime configuration.

Job scope

A Runtime job starts when the first of its documents is found in the input job, i.e. when the first Event in the Runtime job is triggered.

A Runtime job ends when the last of its documents retrieved from the input job has been processed and delivered from the Processes.

Document definitions

For each Runtime job and output connector, you can define Documents. A Document includes output from Processes in the same Runtime job. See Output mode Document for more information.

Connector settings

The Runtime job enables you to configure connector settings that apply to all included Processes:

•	Job Begin settings – applied before the Runtime job starts.

•	Job End settings – applied after the Runtime job ends.

•	Document Begin settings – applied before each Document.

•	Document End settings – applied after each Document.

Sorting

The Runtime job enables you to sort the documents extracted from the input job before the output jobs are created. For example, when using output mode Document, you may have to sort the input documents before the output documents are created. See Sorting documents for more information about different types of sorting.
