Output mode Document

What is a Document?

A Document is an output job sent via an output connector to the target application. It includes output from Processes in the same Runtime job, and the scope of the Document is specified using a Document trigger. The Document enables you to group documents per customer number, delivery address, etc. before delivering the output to the target application.

What is output mode Document?

In output mode Document, the output is delivered as Documents. This means the output connector waits until the Document is complete before it delivers the output. Use this mode if you want to group documents per customer number, delivery address, etc.

Document mode scenario

In this scenario, you have a Runtime job with two Processes that create hardware invoices and software invoices:

•	procHardware

•	procSoftware

Both Processes deliver output via the same fax output connector. If you select output mode Document, the hardware and software invoice are grouped per customer before they are faxed. This means each customer will receive one fax.

Figure 2

Output mode Document – one fax per customer.

Same scenario using output mode Process

If you select output mode Process instead of Document, each invoice is faxed separately. This means each customer will receive two faxes.

Output mode Process – two faxes per customer.
