Data Transmitters
Data transmitter objects let you configure what data in the PostgreSQL Reports database
to send to another application.
RICOH ProcessDirector provides these data transmitter types:
- REST Transmitter
- REST transmitters use the REST protocol to send the data to another application. Data is stored in a separate file for each database table.
- RICOH Supervisor Transmitter
- RICOH Supervisor transmitters send data only to RICOH Supervisor.
- The RICOH Supervisor data transmitter is added by the RICOH Supervisor Connect feature.
Data transmitters let you configure:
- The database tables from which to extract information.
- The credential used to authenticate with the target application.
- The schedule for when and how often the data is sent.
If you use REST transmitters, you can also send data manually, using the one-time transmission function. If you send a one-time transmission, you can send all of the data in the Reports database for a specific time period or all of the data since the last successful transmission.
- Note:
- If you send all data since the last successful transmission, the transmission is treated the same as a scheduled transmission. The next scheduled transmission does not include data sent in this type of one-time transmission.
- However, if you send the data for a specific time period, the transmission is treated as an exception. In the next scheduled transmission, the data might be included.
