Gentran:Server for Windows User’s Guide

This chapter explains how to use the Gentran:Server process control.

Process control feature enables you to automate your message processing. 
Essentially, you need to tell the system what you want done and when, and 
process control takes care of it for you automatically.

With process control, you can build customized events to initiate the processing 
functions of Gentran:Server. These processing functions include the following.

◗

importing data from your application files

◗

exporting data to your application files

◗

sending

◗

receiving

In addition, file and process management functions can be executed that provide 
additional flexibility in integrating your application with Gentran:Server.

Process control is regulated by events, which are a combination of what you want 
done (a session) and when to process a session (calendar, days, a date, or based on 
whether or not a file exists). The following describes the event creation process: 

1

Create a process control session.
