Hi,
The "StandAlone"usage of the "Splitter Module" is used in cases, where you would like to perform different steps in the module chain.
(no matter what kind of message is used)
Example Scenario:
- if you receive EDI Data from many partners via mutliple channels, you usually include all required setting in these Sender-Channels (e.g. Classifier, BIC, Splitter or the PGP....and so on).
=> So if you then have any changes to your PGP Module ... you would have to modify all channels that use the PGP Module.
With the Splitter you could do the following:
Only have very limited configuration in each inbound Sender Channel and then Split all of these channels to one Channel (that includes the PGP-settings) and forwards the files to PI.
So in this case if any change to the PGP happens, you only have to modify this one channel.
=> Using the Splitter in such scenarios only allows to redistribute files from one channel to another channel before they are forwarded to PI. It´s not related to any "filecontent tasks" or 997 messages
However:
This is just one example and I have seen the Splitter in "StandAlone" usage very seldom. I would say that approx more than 90% of the Seeburger Customers use the Splitter always in the Standard-Scenario with "Classifier/BIC/Splitter".
