Using VIPO Dispatch

VIPO Dispatch (VIPOD) is the generic mechanism by which VIPO jobs that have been distilled and split, or split into pages are sent, or dispatched, to other programs or functions such as:

•E-mail

•Fax

•DocuShare repository

VIPOD monitors VIPO output and performs post-processing via a customer-specified back-end. Post-processing is completed in accordance with parameters and other data embedded in a job, and is communicated to the dispatch mechanism via the index file (specifically the splitfile index record field names and values) of completed VIPO jobs.

Because different applications require different workflows, VIPOD handles these types of workflow simultaneously:

•Jobs in which the entire VIPO-to-VIPOD process runs automatically, such as an interface with a DocuShare repository

•Jobs that require verification of the VIPO output before the dispatch proceeds, such as an interface with an e-mail disbursement system

VIPOD inspects, or polls, the VIPO Incoming Folders directories in the context of a user-specified filter and compares the field names of the first record from the VIPO job's splitfile index against a repository of Dispatch Rules. If a completed VIPO job is associated with a single Dispatch Rule, it is considered eligible for dispatch and becomes a VIPOD job. If a VPTD job is either manually approved for processing or meets the user-specified criteria for autorun (via another filter), VIPOD resolves and applies the appropriate Dispatch Rule for each record of the VIPO job's splitfile index.

Each of the VIPOD job's splitfile records in the context of a Dispatch Rule effectively defines a subtask of the VIPOD job. Processing of each subtask first (optionally) writes the contents of one or more splitfile index records to disk and then performs a single invocation of a rule-specified external program (for example, an e-mail client interface). The results of subtask processing are accumulated in a log file in the VIPO job's Incoming directory and represent the results of the overall VIPOD job.
