About standard processes

The KCM B&OM functionality is implemented in a set of standard processes that are installed with the product. Running the set of standard processes enables you to transform input request files into distribution output.

The following tables list and describe the standard processes in the order you need to launch them.

Table 1: General steps

Step in the processing sequence	Purpose	Process	Description	Link to the section
Step 1	This process registers submitted requests	CCM_Registration	This process registers submitted requests.	Step 1: CCM_Registration
Step 2	Parse the requests	CCM_Application	This process decomposes the requests into correspondences.	Step 2: CCM_Application
Step 3	Determine the output	CCM_Communication	This process determines what output is delivered electronically and what output is printed.	Step 3: CCM_Communication

Refer to Table 2 for the next steps to perform when producing electronic output.

Refer to Table 3 for the next steps to perform when producing printed output.

Table 2: Steps for electronic output

Step 4	Deliver electronic output	CCM_ElectronicDelivery	This process sends electronic communications to the Electronic Delivery exit point on KCM Core.	Step 4: CCM_ElectronicDelivery

Table 3: Steps for printed output

Step in the processing sequence	Purpose	Process	Description	Link to the section
Step 4	Deliver print output	CCM_PrintDelivery	This process transforms print communications into process records.	Step 4: CCM_PrintDelivery
Step 5		CCM_Bundling	This process combines process records into envelopes.	Step 5: CCM_Bundling
Step 6		CCM_Stacking	This process combines envelopes into print stacks.	Step 6: CCM_Stacking
Step 7		CCM_Streaming	This process determines page modifications for print stacks.	Step 7: CCM_Streaming
Step 8		CCM_Conversion	This process creates print files for print stacks (one print file per stack).	Step 8: CCM_Conversion
Step 9		CCM_Distribution	This process distributes print files.	Step 9: CCM_Distribution
Not applied	Perform the cleanup	CCM_CleanUpAll	This process cleans up database entries and files stored on the file system.	CCM_CleanUpAll standard process

The following applies to all standard processes:

They can be run within Windows Service Hosts or directly from KCM Studio.
They need to be configured before they can be used.
They can be modified if custom behavior is required.
