A preemitter is a component that can be called just prior to sending an output document. Normally it is used to convert a payload document in internal format into an external format such as EDI or CSV.
Each preemitter uses a class file that must be located in a directory in the Java classpath. iWay Service Manager includes preemitters that have been preconfigured. The following preconfigured preemitters are available to be added to iWay Service Manager:
Note: Preemitters can be chained.
For more information about configuring specific preemitter properties, see the iWay Service Manager Component and Functional Language Reference Guide.
For more information on the methodology used in writing preemitters, see the iWay Service Manager Programmer's Guide.
To add a preemitter:
The Preemitters pane opens.
The Preemitter Type pane opens.
You can also manually type the class name of a preemitter that is packaged in a .jar file, which is in the CLASSPATH.
The configuration parameters pane for the CICS preemitter opens.
The Name and Description pane opens.
The preemitter is added to the list in the Preemitters pane.
After a preemitter is added to iWay Service Manager, you can assign a preemitter to an outlet that is used to construct a channel. For more information, see Configuring Channels.
