Generating Advanced Data Formatting Rules
The ADF plug-in applies rules (actions to be performed based on defined criteria) to the data received via an input
plug-in before sending it to the output plug-in.
• Rules - The ADF process plug-in consists of one or more rules. DataWedge formats the output data according to
the first matching rule. A rule is a combination of criteria and a set of actions to be performed, upon fulfillment of
the criteria set in the rule.
• Criteria - Criteria can be set according to Input plug-in, symbology, matching string within the data (at the
specified position) and/or data length. Received data must match the defined criteria in order for the data to be
processed.
• Actions - A set of procedures defined to format data. There are four types of actions which are for formatting
cursor movement, data modification, data sending and delay specifications. An action can be defined to send the
first number of characters to the Output plug-in, pad the output data with spaces or zeros, remove spaces in data,
etc.
