Pre-Processing and Post-Processing

Often, performing pre-processing and post-processing tasks on the subscribing system before or after it processes a service operation message is desirable. Pre-processing tasks can include actions such as deleting existing data. Post-processing actions can include data clean-up.

Performing pre-processing and post-processing tasks is optional. However, if you choose to perform them, you must enable the Message Header or Message Trailer options on the Full Table Publish Rules or Batch Publish Rules page, as well as code the processing logic on the service operation handler.

You can perform pre-processing and post-processing tasks on service operations that are processed sequentially or in parallel.

Note:

Using pre-processing and post-processing tasks in conjunction with the parallel processing feature of the Publish Utility is currently available in the HCM application only. To use pre- and post-processing tasks in conjunction with parallel processing you must apply one of the following resolutions to both the publishing and subscribing systems: HCM 9.0 systems – Resolution 827074; HCM 9.1 systems – Resolution 827350.

Using pre-processing and post-processing logic is discussed in greater detail elsewhere in this documentation.
