This section covers all topics concerning automatic processing of spooled files in the InterFormNG2 workflow:
•How to monitor an output queue.
•Load a sample spooled file in the workflow editor
•How to condition the workflow on spooled file attributes
•How to condition the workflow on spooled file contents
•How to merge a spooled file with a template.
•How to change spooled file attributes
•Add data to spooled files via SQL
•Transform a spooled file into XML
•Transform a spooled file into Excel.
•Transform a spooled file into a new spooled file. This can e.g. be used if you want to change the contents or add data from an SQL via the function, ng:databaseLookup. Multiple examples are found here.
•If you print to an output queue on the IBM i, then you can set the attributes of the merged spooled file with the workflow component: IBM i print attribute options. You need to insert this before the print component. Here you can e.g. consider to copy the user profile of the input spooled file into e.g. the USRDTA field of the merged spooled file.
•How to use a database to move a spooled file or set output printer e.g. with the user output queue settings from InterForm400
•How to use translation file to link users with an output queue for move and print of spooled files.
•Handle large spooled files in parallel. Consider this to avoid that larger spooled files are preventing processing of smaller spooled files, which might require a smaller response time.
