Job signatures

The eBiss job objects have different incoming and outgoing signatures.

Note: Messages always flow from top to bottom. Documents, on the other hand, always flow from left to right.

Incoming signatures

These are the connectors top or left on the job object…:

Message handlers on top of Job objects that are not used in either the message or document processing context, but can still pass messages through.¹⁾.
Message handlers on top of all job objects used in message processing.²⁾.
entities or document handlers left at all job objects, which are used in document processing.³⁾
- here we distinguish between individual entities or selections⁴⁾.

These are the connectors right or down on the job object:

message handlers below on job objects that are used neither in the message nor in the document processing context, but can pass messages anyway.⁵⁾.
Message handlers below all job objects used in message processing.⁶⁾.
entities or document handlers right for all job objects used in document processing⁷⁾.
- here we still distinguish between single entities or selections⁸⁾.

Note: Messages are always passed on in the “trunk”⁹⁾ of the process, never on the “branch”¹⁰⁾

Note: Documents are never passed on in the “trunk”¹¹⁾ of the process, but always at the “branch”¹²⁾

¹⁾

e.g. in CleanUp Job or Custom Job objects.

²⁾ , ⁶⁾

³⁾

⁴⁾

This is a selection of entities e.g. in MultiEntityTransformer

⁵⁾

e.g. in CleanUp Job or custom job objects.

⁷⁾

⁸⁾

This is a selection of entities e.g. in “OnMultiEntityObjects” in EntityLoader

⁹⁾ , ¹¹⁾

This is the main strand of a process definition.

¹⁰⁾

These are the processes which branch off from the main strand to the right.

¹²⁾

These are the processes which leave the main strand to the right.
