Right now i can have it return records into Metadata but sometimes I want to run a datamapper process once and then use that in multiple processes.
Hi Nick,
You want to reuse the metadata containing records from a previous process? In the first process you could use Execute Data Mapping and set it to Output Records in Metadata. Then after that you can use the Metadata File Management plugin to save the metadata to disk. In another process you use the same Metadata File Management plugin, but this time set it to Load Metadata File. After that to generate output you can use the Create Print Content plugin, set its data Source to Metadata and select its template to use. After that you can go ahead and use the Create Job and Create Output plugins followed by a Send to Folder.
However I’m not sure how you would want to trigger the “other” processes to use the saved metadata. Perhaps a simple txt file with a certain name can be used and once dropped into the hot folder, it will trigger the other processes to grab the metadata.
