MarcomProcessOrders
The MarcomReceiveOrders SOAP web service input device simulates a call to a MarcomCentral web service. The input device retrieves an XML order from the sample store at the MarcomCentral website and sends the XML job to the MarcomProcessOrders workflow.
The SetJobPropsFromTextFile step sets the Job name property to Marcom Sample Order.
The DetectInputDataStream step sets the data stream to XML.
The CreateOrdersFromFile step uses the MarcomOrderSample property mapping object to create an order and two jobs. The jobs are created as child jobs. The step also sets property values based on the contents of the XML file. The property mapping object uses these XML elements to identify orders and jobs in the file:
- /Order
- Identifies orders.
- /Order/OrderDetails/OrderDetail
- Identifies jobs.
The table lists the XML elements and the properties that they correspond to.
| XML element | Database name | User interface name |
|---|---|---|
/Order/OrderNumber |
Order.Name | Order name |
/Order/ID |
Order.Reference | External order reference |
/Order/OrderDetails/OrderDetail/User/Name |
Order.Customer | Customer name |
/Order/OrderDetails/OrderDetail/SKUDescription |
Order.Description | Description |
/Order/OrderDetails/OrderDetail/Quantity |
Job.Copies | Job copies requested |
/Order/OrderDetails/OrderDetail/OrderNumber |
Job.Marcom.OrderNumber | MarcomCentral order number |
/Order/ID |
Job.Marcom.OrderId | MarcomCentral order ID |
/Order/OrderDetails/OrderDetail/ID |
Job.Marcom.JobTicketId | MarcomCentral job ticket |
/Order/OrderDetails/OrderDetail/ProductType |
Job.Marcom.ProductType | MarcomCentral product type |
/Order/OrderDetails/OrderDetail/ProductName |
Job.Name | Job name |
The step then submits the two child jobs to the MarcomProcessJobTicket workflow.
The original order job is sent to the WaitForRelatedJobs step.
When all the child jobs for the order arrive at the WaitForRelatedJobs step in the MarcomProcessJobTicket workflow, RICOH ProcessDirector sends the order job to the RetainCompletedJobs step. The state of the order job changes to Retained.
When that event occurs, the MarcomCloseoutOrder web service notification simulates a call to a MarcomCentral web service. The web service changes the status of the XML order at the sample store.
If the notification called the web service instead of running the simulation, this change would occur at the sample store. On the Display by Item dialog in the Order Manager, the value in the Order Status column for each item in the order would change from Work in Progress to Shipped.
