Using a Post-processor scheduler input connector

You can use a Post-processor scheduler input connector to collect the query. The query (DBQ or PPQ) must be included in a resource set connected to the platform.

Creating a query resource

There is no specific resource type for DBQs and PPQs used in Document Broker Plus. You can use any type of text formatted resource, for example a sample resource.

•	To create a PPQ resource you must create a new resource, start the resource editor, enter the appropriate PPQ xml and save the resource.

•	To create a DBQ resource you can export a DBQ from Document Broker Query Tool, and import the DBQ to the resource set.

To configure a Post-processor scheduler input connector

1	Create a query resource.

2	Create a Post-processor scheduler input connector.

3	Open the Input Connector settings dialog box (physical layer).

4	Browse to and select the Post-processor query you created in Step 1.

5	Schedule when to collect the query (e.g. once a month).

6

Click OK.

How the Post-processor scheduler input connector works

The Post-processor scheduler input connector is similar to a Directory input connector. It periodically scans a resource directory in the StreamServer application’s working directory for input. For example, if you use a Sample resource as query, the connector scans the Sample resource directory for input.

When you export and deploy a Project, the query is added to the resource directory. The Post-processor scheduler input connector collects, but does not delete, the query as soon as the StreamServer application is started. The Post-processor scheduler input connector then waits until the next collection event (specified by the Schedule property), collects the same query once again, waits until the next collection event, collects the query and so on.
