Create requests

This chapter provides information on the format for B&OM requests, which are submitted to KCM by means of XML files. The XML files conform to the XSD files delivered in the schemas directory:

<deploy root>\KCM\Documentation\<5.8>\Resources\Schemas\Output Management

Each request file contains a single request, which can be one of the following types:

  • Correspondence request. Consists of one or more correspondences, which are already in the correct form for document composition. This is the most common type of request.
  • Application request. Consists of one or more application events, which will be transformed into correspondences by the application rules.
  • Import request. Consists of a combination of a single correspondence and an already composed Document Pack. The correspondence bypasses composition, using the provided document pack instead.

To send the request, place it in the watch folder of the Registration component.
