after the Data Mapping workflow has completed ("Postprocessor step" on page289).
When you create a new data mapping configuration, these steps are added automatically, but
they don't actually do anything until you configure them.
In between the Preprocessor and Postprocessor step, the workflow can contain as many steps
as needed to extract the required data.
Defining properties and runtime parameters
Before adding steps, define the properties and runtime variables that you will need in the data
mapping configuration.
A data mapping configuration's properties hold data that can be used throughout the data
mapping workflow to compare against in conditions or to complement the existing data.
Runtime parameters are properties that will pass information from OL Connect Workflow to the
data mapping configuration.
All properties are defined in the Preprocessor step.
For more information see "Properties and runtime parameters" on page253.
Adding steps
Extracting data is the main way to build a data mapping workflow; see "Extracting data" on
page256.
Extract steps, Condition steps and Repeat steps can be added after selecting data in the Data
Viewer.
All steps can be added via the Steps pane:
1. In the extraction workflow on the Steps pane, select the step after which to add the new
step.
2. Right-click on the Steps pane and select Add a Step; then select one of the step types.
To add a first Step inside a Repeat or Condition structure, click on the initial step of the
Repeat/Condition structure. This highlights the entire structure and any Step you add now
would be positioned immediately after the structure. Click once more on the structure's initial
step to highlight it alone. The next Step added will now be positioned as the first child inside
the structure.
