Step one: SOURCE Process a new data source.

For each document type defined e.g. statement, the source module of TAGmessenger looks in a specific location for new batches of that document to process. Documents can be text, Adobe PDF, Postscript & PCL. TAGmessenger can process batches of thousands of transactions or single items. Entries are added to the TAG database as a SOURCE or collection of documents.

Step two: DIVIDER Dissect file into documents

For each SOURCE the documents within it are extracted using rules defined within a DIVIDER module. Entries are added to the TAG database, to show each document’s pages. There are pre-configured DIVIDER modules that cater for splitting Postscript, PCL, Adobe PDF and text document streams. Once the SOURCE has been split into documents it must be resolved.

Step three: RESOLVER Determine destinations

For each DOCUMENT the pages within it are extracted and examined using rules defined within a RESOLVER module. Entries are added to the TAG database, to show each document’s destinations. There are pre-configured BUILDER modules that cater for most transmission methods. These include faxing, emailing text, emailing Adobe PDFs, and printing e.g. barcodes.

Step four: BUILDER Create messages/destination

For each DESTINATION, the document is rendered into a suitable format ready for transmission. Formats used include Huffman output for faxes, mime output for attached files, PDF output for documents to be emailed, and Postscript output for enhanced prints e.g. Oracle print with added barcodes. Other transmission modules can be scripted to produce spreadsheet output, SMS text messages and even voice messages.

How do we find the destinations?

• directly....where the destination is within the document as a fax no / email address OR

• indirectly...by using a field within each document e.g. customer account no. to perform a lookup within an SQL database

Step five: TRANSMIT Send messages

Each copy of a MESSAGE is sent by an appropriate Windows service. Faxes are sent through standard fax modems, emails are sent using SMTP normally as a PDF attachment, whilst prints are sent to networked printers as Postscript or PCL files.
