Defining a Convert Inbound Destination Application

After you have selected the Source application, the next step in creating a Template is to define the Destination application. A Destination application is an application from where data is to be transferred from the Source application. After defining the Destination application, you must choose an Action.

An Action is performed at the destination. For example, in an FTP Destination application, if you choose Create File as an action, then a file will be generated at the destination.

To select and configure the Destination application of the Template:

1. Select the Destination application and click Next. 

   You can also use a Process Flow or Transaction in a Template. For this, you need to select Post Process application. For more information, click here.

    

   The next steps differ depending on the selected Destination application.

2. Select the action and click Next.
   
   

   The list of actions differs for the selected Destination application. For the complete list of actions of the supported applications, refer to Appendix C: Supported Applications.
