Job execution phases

Job processing is divided into three execution phases, first the input phase, then the formatting phase, and finally the output phase.

Input phase

The input phase starts when an input connector finds data, and ends when the complete input job is stored in the input queue.

Formatting phase

During the formatting phase, all transformations and formatting is done. All scripts are also run during this phase. Simply put, this is where StreamServer does the actual work and processes the job. The formatting phase starts when a job is picked from an input queue for processing, and ends when the complete input job has been processed, and all output jobs are successfully stored in the output queues. See Formatting phase.

Output phase

The output phase starts when all output jobs are stored in the output queues, and ends when all the output jobs are delivered.
