Post Process is the processed data to further process to perform some post-processing on the result data. In Adeptia Connect, a transaction is executing by processing files at source and destination. If you want to further process data, you need to use Post Process application at target to do some post-processing on the data.
Using Post Process application, you can use a Process Flow and Transaction in a Template. For Process Flow, you need to create a Process Flow in Developer's Studio and then publish it in Adeptia Connect. For Transactions, you need to create a Transaction using Pre Process application at Source and then use the Transaction while creating a Template.
