Formatters

In the Messaging configuration you can add one or more formatters to each inbound or outbound mapping. Formatters can be used to extend the messaging functionality by manipulating data either before or after it is mapped. Field formatters are applied to specific fields, and data formatters are applied to the entire message.

Note: Infor Public Sector Data Management also supports formatters, so your messaging process might have different types of formatters defined in two different places.

Field formatters are based on the IFieldFormatter interface, which supports these events:

  • BeforeMapFrom
  • AfterMapFrom
  • BeforeMapTo
  • AfterMapTo

Data formatters are based on the IDataFormatter interface, which supports these events:

  • BeforeMapObjectFrom
  • AfterMapObjectFrom
  • BeforeMapObjectTo
  • AfterMapObjectTo
  • BeforeMapDocumentFrom
  • AfterMapDocumentFrom
  • BeforeMapDocumentTo
  • AfterMapDocumentTo
