Workflow Activities

Add content from an external file to the current document in the Workflow.

Instructs SmartBridge to analyze the document content based on defined document structures and to set the document properties according to the current document content.

Use AnsiX12Envelope to fix the envelope segments of a ANSI X12 document. It can also generate a unique interchange control number.

Use to execute Activities that require a relatively large amount of time to finish.

Creates a copy of the document and assigns a key to it, so that other Activities in the Workflow can process the clone.

Creates a PDF representation of an XML document content, based on an XSLT which generates a formatted XML (XML-FO) representation of the original document content.

Creates a copy of the processed document content file(s) and place it in a specified folder. The rest of the Workflow Activities will try to retrieve the document content from the original folder.

Use to copy a specific file to a specific folder.

CreateAccountingEntry

CreateAccountingEntry is a TIE-specific Activity for our internal usage, used to be able to track data usage.

If the document recipient is the owner of a group of partners, the Activity creates a clone of the document for each of the group members, and assigns that member as document recipient.

When a document has multiple content files, this activity is able to create new documents for each of these content files. To do further processing on the resulting documents, you need to use the “ReplicatorActivity” activity.

Use to create a folder.

Decrement<T>

Introduces a specified delay in the processing of the document.

Use to delete a specific file.

Use to delete a folder.

Use to turn a JSON file into a data object.

Use to turn an JSON string into a data object.

Use to turn an XML file into a data object.

Use to turn an XML string into a data object.

Activity for downloading files from Amazon's S3 cloud storage.

EdifactEnvelope can change the Interchange header data elements and update the Message and Interchange trailers.

Instructs SmartBridge to deliver an e-mail notification to specified recipient(s).

Translates almost all EDI documents content to other formats. Use XlsToCsvTranslation or XSLTranslation for the remaining formats.

Executes a command line batch, which is an external process that may be applied to the document’s content. Optionally, the generated file(s) can be used as document new document content for further processing.

Executes a C# script allowing non-standard processing of document attributes or of document content files.

Note: only for experienced implementers!

Instructs SmartBridge to expose a document’s properties. When a property is exposed, you can use it as a condition for an IfElse Activity.

Use FindDuplicates when incoming documents could have duplicate envelope numbers. With FindDuplicates you can define what SmartBridge should do in case it runs into duplicate envelope numbers.

Use to get one of the SmartBridge settings, for use further on in the Workflow.

Use to get a value from a registry key, for use further down the Workflow.

Starts the aggregation (grouping) of the content of EDI documents specified as input for this activity.

Use when it depends on the circumstances in the Workflow which set of Activities need to be executed.

Use when it depends on the circumstances in the Workflow which set of Activities need to be executed.

Use the If Activity when it depends on the circumstances in the Workflow whether a single set of Activities needs to be executed.

Use to obtain a list of files in a specific directory.

Use to obtain a list of files and (sub)folders in a specific directory.

Use to obtain a (sub)folders in a specific directory.

Runs a set of child activities at the same time. The ParallelActivity only finishes when all children are complete.

Places the content of the processed document into the specified destination folder. The rest of the workflow activities will try to retrieve the document content from the specified folder.

Use to get the contents of a non-binary file, in a single operation.

Changes the name of the content file to the specified value.

It is possible to use macros to specify document attributes as part of the file name.

The ReplicatorActivity repeats the same activities on each of the multiple documents received as input, similar to a “for each” statement in code.

Set “ReplicatorProcessingSequence“ as child activity and add the repetitive activities to the “ReplicatorProcessingSequence“.

• 1, 2
• 3: Replaced with ForEach

Contains the sequence of activities to be executed for each of the documents presented as input for the “ReplicatorActivity“.

• 1, 2
• 3: Replaced with ForEach

Places the document back onto the messaging bus as a new document, allowing it to be processed beginning with document analyzing.

Note: only for experienced implementers!

Instructs SmartBridge to reattempt processing of the document by reposting it to the system bus as a known document. The document will then be dispatched to another process configured in the system.

Creates a send request for the document, so that it will be sent to its intended recipient once the next communication session begins.

Use to turn a data object into a JSON file.

Use to turn a data object into a JSON string.

Use to turn a data object into an XML file.

Use to turn a data object into a XML string.

Specifies new values for one or more document properties.

The document content can be signed electronically using the information from a certificate file which contains also a private key.

It can be used for PDF and EDI documents.

Generates a set of documents from an EDI interchange.

Use TerminateActivity in situations that require terminating the workflow. An example is to terminate when certain conditions apply (for example on an Else branch). TerminateActivity will produce an error message.

• 1, 2
• 3: See TerminateWorkflow

Allows text processing on the document content, like find and replace, insert or append strings in the document content.

Use TradacomsEnvelope to fix the envelope segments of a TRADACOMS document. It can also generate a unique sender transmission reference.

UnZip is an Activity to unzip or decompress the contents of a zip file.

Use to add content as a single chunk to a non-binary file, in a single operation.

Use this activity to write entries to the service log.

Use XlsToCsvTranslation to transform XLS documents to CSV documents.

Translates an XML document using an XSL file.

Zip is an Activity to zip (compress) one or more files into one smaller file.
