iDocs SmartRouter
Rules-Based Processing and Distribution for iSeries - System i Spool Files

Product Description: SmartRouter is the iDocs module used to facilitate complex filtering and distribution requirements for IBM i spooled reports, forms and business documents. It controls the bursting and processing of spool files by individual page based on conditional user-defined criteria, and intelligently sorts, re-bundles and delivers spool content to individual targets. SmartRouter output feeds directly into other iDocs modules for distribution via email, fax and/or printer, or for indexing and storage in a Web-based archive for easy browser-based retrieval, 24x7.

Solution Description: SmartRouter allows users to easily pre-define, in detail, how the System i should split out, process, regroup and distribute individual pages of a spool file in order to expedite delivery of business forms, reports and other documents into the hands of the exact people who need them, reliably and accurately.

Features

Clean interface for users to define how to burst, sort and distribute forms and reports
Conditional spool file mapping identifies specific pages of a spool file to be directed to pre-specified targets and controls how each page is processed, bundled and delivered
Easy-to-follow menus with useful prompts help users quickly define custom conditions, tests and targets
Conditions and tests can include any combination of external spool file attributes, internal spool file content and targets (output definitions) for accurate implementation of unique or complex requirements
Intelligent engine easily handles thousands of targets, conditions and tests
Output Definitions accommodate overrides on external spool file attributes so processed files are easily identified within the output queue
Native System i processing means faster performance and improved capabilities over solutions that require PCs
iDocs Suite integration lets users merge processed spool files with business form graphics, convert to PDF, print, email, fax and/or index and store in a Web-based archive for easy browser-based retrieval.
