About: Activity
An Activity is a step in a pipeline that receives a message as input and produces a message as output.
An activity is an intermediate step in the pipeline. It is configured with a number of specific properties, such as locations, documents or filters. It can be connected to the following:
- Another activity.
- An event, in which case it is part of an export pipeline.
- An endpoint, in which case it is part of either an import or an export pipeline.
Typical examples of activities include:
- XML generation from a record set, or record generation from an XML document.
- Data translation from one format to another, such as XML to CSV, or CSV to XML.
- Data mapping from one structure to another.
