Hi @Isora Dolage ,
Just highlighting merely the idea behind these processes on a high level for your information.
Process File - Listens to a folder and if there is a text based file (i.e. csv, excel) available in that folder which we need to process, fsm will pick up that file and process it / import accordingly into FSM.
Process I-Table - Will take messages from a specific inbound staging table
Process Explicit Transaction - This triggers FSM XML API transactions like INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, MPM messages/Perform, Outbound integrations
Process Attachment - This is similar as process file schedule type, but the difference is when we drop in attachments like pdf, images (which are not text based) into a specific folder, we just import those files as attachments and then we link them to a parent record in FSM. In other words, we are not processing the context of the file like process file, we just import the file as an attachment.
Process External Datasource - This runs a query on an external database to process a response.
Process HTTP Request - An http listener to stage the messages. This is obsolete now AFAIK.
Process (S)FTP Upload - Listens to a folder for file(s) that are moved / uploaded and processes the file as an upload in FTP or SFTP mode.
Process (S)FTP Download - Similar to upload, we can listen to a remote folder in FTP or SFTP to process the file(s) into FSM. i.e . process a csv file
Hi @SAMLK , thank you for sharing your knowledge!
