About the Post-processor repository You use the post-processing repository to store page-formatted documents generated by one or more StreamServers. Documents stored in the post-processing repository can be retrieved at a specific time or at repeated intervals. You can view documents stored in the post-processing repository, and select documents to be retrieved, using the Post-processor Repository Tool. Post-processing repository scenario A telecommunications company called Dosco has three subsidiaries providing services for: • Fixed telephony • Mobile telephony • Internet connection As many customers use services provided by more than one subsidiary, the company wants to reduce costs by sending all the monthly invoices for each customer in one envelope. Each subsidiary uses StreamServe to retrieve data from their billing systems and format the invoices. The 5th of each month, the fixed telephony subsidiary takes data from their billing system and produces page-formatted invoices, which are subsequently stored in the post-processing repository. The customer ID is used to identify the invoice to send to each customer, and is stored in the post-processing repository together with the invoice. The 7th of each month, the mobile telephony subsidiary produces billing information for their customers and stores it in the same post-processing repository as the fixed telephony subsidiary. The 9th of each month, the internet providing subsidiary produces their billing information and stores it the same way. The 11th of each month, invoices that will be sent to customers with customer IDs between 1000 and 1999 are printed. An operator at a centralized function at Dosco uses the Post-processor Repository Tool to select the invoices with these customer IDs, and submits the invoices to the printer.
