A preprocessor has access to the files / messages delivered by the receiver and can manipulate or discard them. This allows you to create extensions to STEP in order to handle your specific inbound data processing needs. For assistance in creating a preprocessor, contact Stibo Systems Support.
-
If necessary, choose a preprocessor and follow the steps in the linked topics for setup:
-
No preprocessing option is selected by default.
-
XML Normalizer preprocessor is available to make minor modifications to the layout of an inbound XML file so that STEP can process it using the Generic XML format. It allows a specified tag to be copied from one place within the file to another place within the same tag. For details, refer to the IIEP - Configure XML Normalizer PreProcessor documentation here.
-
Transformation by XSLT PreProcessor allows an XSLT 2.0-compliant stylesheet to be used during import to transform valid inbound XML into STEPXML, or into non-STEPXML that can then be imported using the Generic XML format option. For details on the XSLT preprocessor, refer to IIEP - Configure Transformation by XSLT PreProcessor documentation here.
-
Transformation by Import Configuration can be used to transform Excel and CSV files to STEPXML on import.
-
STEPXML Joiner PreProcessor is used for getting configurations and settings exported via the outbound functionality. It is accessible to systems with version control system integration have access. For details, refer to the Integration Endpoint Options for VCS Integration topic in the Configuration Management documentation here.
