Single step and multiple step refer to methods of running Documaker Server’s primary process flow, of three separate executables in series as: GenTrn -> GenData -> GenPrint.
Multiple step means three separate steps for the process.
Single step means that you can run GenData once with additional rules (defined in the AFGJOB.JDT) to support the functions that were originally done in GenTrn and GenPrint.
Document Factory splits out each of the functions of GenTrn, GenData, and GenPrint into it their own workers, with even more functions added to the mix and uses the Java portions of the workers to schedule the work as needed to speed processing.
Since the GenTrn, GenData, and GenPrint activities of Documaker Server all happen during Document Factory processing using Document Factory rules that can be invoked by the Scheduler, it is not really a single or multiple step issue because the timing of those activities is controlled by the Scheduler.
