Set Content Processing Modules

A storage unit has a set of events that are triggered during different actions performed on the storage unit. There are two different types of events: per document events and general events.

...

  • PreAdd: this event is triggered before the a content record is stored (added or updated) in the storage unit.
  • PostAddProcess: this event is triggered after the a content record is stored (added or updated) in the storage unit.
  • PreDelete: this event is triggered before the a content record is deleted from the storage unit.
  • PostDelete: this event is triggered after the a content record is deleted from the storage unit.
  • Fetch: this event is triggered after the a content record is fetched from the storage unit.
  • User Defined Document Events:

General events are triggered when specific transactions are submitted to the storage unit:

  •  A custom action can be sent along with a record key to trigger an event linked to the record. Content will not be modified in the database storage. Any number of processing modules can be attached to these events. This transaction can be received through execute or batch calls of the transaction API.

General events are triggered when specific transactions are submitted to the storage unit:

  • BatchStart: BatchStart: this event is triggered when a new batch is created during content ingestion. When a batch is created, a batch variable is added to the execution context which can be accessed by records on per document events.
  • BatchEnd: this event is triggered when a batch is completed during content ingestion.
  • User Defined General Events: StartFullScan: this event is triggered when a start full scan transaction is received. This transaction can be received through A custom action can be sent without a key to indicate a general event. Any number of processing modules can be attached to these events. This kind of transaction can be received through execute or batch calls of the transaction APIEndFullScan.
    • StartFullScan (sent by Aspire publisher): this event is triggered when a start full scan transaction is received. 
    • EndFullScan (sent by Aspire publisher): this event is triggered when an end full scan transaction is received.
    This transaction can be received through execute or batch calls of the transaction API
    •  

Event Event actions are configured on external javascript JavaScript modules placed inside the processing_modules folder of the staging repository Staging Repository server. Each module can implement one or more of the event functions. The name of the function needs to be the name of the implemented event. A module can have functions of both general and per document events.

Per document events receive four receives five parameters:

  • key: The id of the record.
  • content: A Javascript JavaScript Object with the content of the scope of the record that is being processed.
  • context: A Javascript JavaScript Object with configuration variables and access to utility/API functions.
  • settings: List of A JavaScript Object with available configuration properties for the module .(from the content processing modules configuration).
  • callback: Function to call when the execution has completed. Function parameters: error (pass null if no error occurred), content, context.

  }

    newContent.content = content.content.$
  }

};

General events receive three parameters: 

  • context: A JavaScript Object with configuration variables and access to utility/API functions.
  • settings: A JavaScript Object with available configuration properties for the module (from the content processing modules configuration).
  • callback: Function to call when the execution has completed. Function parameters: error (pass null if no error occurred), context.

}

The set content processing modules API call defines the content processing pipelines and settings that will be executed per scope when an event is trigger. A default list of modules can be configured for scopes that are not explicitly defined.

Each module can define it's own collection of settings. If a module has a setting with the same name as a global setting, the global setting gets overwritten for that module only.  

When executing the events for each module, these will be executed in the order in which they appear in the configuration array.

            return content;
    "module" : "AspireFieldMapping"
            });
,
            }
};

General events receive two parameters: context: A Javascript Object with configuration variables and access to utility functions. settings: List of available configuration properties for the module.

            context.batchArray =[];
    }
};

The configure API call configures content processing modules and module settings for a storage unit. Content processing modules are configured per scope. A default list of modules can be configured for scopes that are not explicitly defined. Each module can define it's own collection of settings. When executing the events for each module, these will be executed in the order in which they appear in the configuration array.

Storage unit configuration consists of lists of modules for each scope and general settings. Each module may contain specific settings, as well.
