Transaction production is the process through which an SFM can manipulate an incoming transaction.
Transaction production allows you to transform, enhance, collect, and route data to one or more destinations. When the SFM receives data from an acquisition AIM (or another SFM), it parses the incoming data, evaluates the data, and builds output transactions based on the requirements of the receiving endpoint application.
Using transaction production, the SFM can:
Manipulate an incoming transaction’s data to produce a different output transaction by adding or removing data, transforming the data based on preset rules or information contained in a table; or rearranging the data into a new format.
Send one transaction to many destinations.
Collect several incoming transactions and place them into one outgoing transaction.
Transaction production is an optional step, which is necessary only if you need to validate or manipulate data received from an acquisition AIM or to pass the data to more than one endpoint application.
An SFM sends data through transaction production when you use the route_vprod routing function, or when you use a transaction ID of “ENGINE” in the route_vrec or route_recx routing functions. SFM performs transaction production before sending the transaction to its destination.
