Custom Activity (2.9)
Introduction
A recipe can include custom activities. For example, it may be necessary to have a custom activity that retrieves the data from a data source (for example, to place files within the file system). In such cases, two items are needed:
-
Custom code in the form of a business host added within the interoperability engine that system uses internally. The business host must be a business operation or a business process that accepts as input a message of type SDS.DataLoader.CustomActivityRequest. Details are currently beyond the scope of the documentation.
-
Configuration of the recipe to include a custom activity that calls this code.
Options
For each custom activity, the following options apply:
-
Target Business Host—Specifies the configuration name of the business host that performs the custom processing.
-
When to Run—Specifies when this processing should occur. The choices are as follows:
-
Before Staging
-
Before Transformation
-
Before Validation
-
Before Reconciliation
-
Before Promotion
-
After Promotion
-
-
Enabled—Specifies whether the recipe performs this activity.
