The Workflow configuration
The project's Workflow configuration, Sending Email, contains just one process. It is a simple
OL Connect Email process (see "Email processes with OL Connect tasks" on page188).
To open the configuration, open Workflow, click the Workflow button, select Open and browse
to the project's Configurations\Resources folder.
Double-click on a task to see its properties.
l The Folder Capture task reads the project's Workspace path from a global variable. The
value of that variable is set by the Sample Project when it installs the project.
l The Execute Data Mapping task extracts data from the sample data file and outputs
them in the Metadata.
l The Create Email Content task creates the emails, using the Metadata as data source.
Note that it sends the emails in test mode, which means it will send the emails to the
sender.
The settings on the Email Info tab are taken from the Sample Project.
l The Delete task is an Output task that does nothing, actually; it doesn't even remove
anything. This step is sometimes useful when running a project step by step in Debug
mode, as it forces preceding tasks to return their output to the Workflow process. The
Create Email Content task, however, does not return the generated emails to the
Workflow process.
The data mapping configuration
The Workflow process uses a data mapping configuration, made with "The DataMapper" on
page221: EM_BASIC Data.
To open the data mapping configuration, open the Designer, select File > Open from the menu
and browse to the Configurations\Resources folder.
This data mapping configuration will of course only work with the appropriate data files. It was
designed for XML files that are structured like this file: Sample Data.xml (in the
Configurations\Resources\Data folder).
The sample data yields 5 records with customer data including a detail table with invoice
details.
