====== The iDocs SmartRouter™ ======




===== Functionality =====

The  iDocs SmartRouter<html>&#153</html> is a dataqueue engine that sorts, bursts, filters and routes *SCS spool file on a page by page basis, optionally assigning external printer file attributes. It's distinguishing feature is its ability to work simultaneously with external spool file attributes and spool file content.

The top level container is the ** SmartRouter Definition**. The  SmartRouter  Definition may contain 9,999 application definitions. 

The **Application** definition is the second level container. It may contain 9,999 targets, and may be conditioned upon 9,999 logical tests.

The **Target** is the output definition. It may also be conditioned upon 9,999 logical tests..

The **Condition** is a logical test on an external spool file attribute or internal spool file content. Conditions are used to enable or disable applications and to control output to targets.

The Smart Router is bundled into the iDocs Suite. Older standalone versions may still be installed at customer sites.







===== Installation =====

The Smart Router is part of the iDocs library and is installed by default. It is a keyed product. Your salesrep can obtain an evaluation license key for you. You will need to install key values **PREPRC1** and **PREPRC2** using the iDocs key mechanism. 










===== Configuration =====

To configure the SmartRouter, issue the command **SR3** (SmartRouter) or take option option 13 iDocs Smart Router from the iDocs menu. 

===== Engine Definitions =====

At the first screen you may create up to 9,999 preprocessor definitions.

<html><span style="color: red;">Do not name the engine beginning with a Q. IBM reserves the letter Q for operating system objects.<br/>Similarly do not use Q as the first letter for the dataqueue name.</span></html>


  * **DataQueue** name and library:  the name of the dataqueue to which the SmartRouter engine will listen for spool files. This dataqueue can not be in use by other dataqueue engines such as those of iDocs, iMail, or iView. The SmartRouting engine will create the dataqueue for you and connect it to the outqueues when you start the engine.
  * **Archive** outqueue and library:  endpoint for the original spool file. \\
Archive/Delete/Hold: A/D/H - SR 6.89 2/26/22 \\ 
A: Original spool file will be moved to archive queue after processed\\
D: Original spool file will be deleted after processed\\
H: Original spool file will be held in current queue after processed\\
Blank: do nothing with original spool file\\ 
  * **Process Spool File**: Specify *JOBQ to process a spool file in a separate job via SBMJOB. The parameters of the SBMJOB call are provided in the next three parameters. Use *CALL to process a spool file via a CALL, resulting in processing in the same job as the engine.
  * **Job Queue Name**: Provide the name of a job queue if processing with the *JOBQ option. Single threaded job queues will process Smart Routing jobs serially. Multi threaded jobqueues will process them concurrently. 
  * **Job Queue Library**: Library containing the job queue.
  * **Job Priority**: Priority of the job in the jobqueue. 

To configure the use of a jobqueue for processing rather than default call logic in \\ 
versions 3.20 and earlier see [[pub:preprocessor#engine_processing_mode | Engine Processing Mode]].

  * When pressing <enter> at the dataqueue configuration screen the outqueue selection screen appears. **Key the outqueues** that you wish the Smart Router to monitor for spool files in the subfile listing and press <enter>. F4 prompt on the name column will list outqueues.
  * **Process At Startup**: Specify __Y__ or __N__. The Smart Router, a dataqueue engine, normally processes spool files as they are released into the outqueue.  If 'Y', spool file entries that exist in the data queue will be processed at start-up. If 'N', they will not be processed until held and then released. The default (if left blank) is 'N'. 

Press <enter> to save changes. Then  press **F12** to return to the main Smart Router engine listing, then continue the configuration using option 2 - change.

==== Applications ====

**Option 5 - View** from the main Smart Router engine listing permits you to drill down to applications contained within the SmartRouter and make any additions or changes to the Targets and Conditions.

To add and application key its name and description on an empty line and press <enter>.

**Form App**: This is the name of the associated iDocs form. The form is used to provide mapped field definitions. These definitions can be used to test internal spool file content and map spool file content to output in the targets. This is the sole way the internal spool file content is specified in the Smart Router.

Use option 6 to [[pub:preprocessor&#conditions|Work with Conditions]] for the application. These conditions will be evaluated only for the first page in each spool file, and if they evaluate to TRUE the entire spool file will be processed  by the application. All applications with either no conditions or with conditions evaluating to TRUE will process the spool file.

Use option 8 to **work with targets** for the application. A target is a copy of the spool file that is filtered by the conditions attached to it. Target conditions are evaluated for each page in the spool file and when TRUE the page is written to the target.

<tr><th colspan="2" style="border-bottom: 1px solid gray;">Output Target Types</th></tr>
<tr><td><b>*NONE</b></td><td>Discard spool file page, NULL output</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>*PAGE</b></td><td>Burst every page</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>*COPY</b></td><td>Output un-burst, i.e. all output to the target is in one spool file.</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>*BURST</b></td><td>Burst output to this target using the bursting definitions in the iDocs form or check specified.</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>*SORT</b></td><td>Sor output to this target using the sort definitions in the iDocs form or check specified. </td></tr>

  * **Override Command**: Prompt this field using F4 to assign constant values to external spool file attributes of the output spool files from this target.
  * Use **F8** to  assign spool file mapped fields to external spool file attributes of the output spool files from this target.


==== Conditions ====
Conditions are entered via **option 6**, and are attached to applications and/or targets. 

  * When attached to the **application**, the conditions are evaluated once at the beginning of the processing of a spool file. If the tests fail, the application and all its targets are not considered further for the spool file.
  * Conditions attached to a **target** are evaluated at each spool file page, and if true the spool file page is included in the output for the target.

  Webmaster@INFORMDECISIONS.COM                                 

 

Then we can use field EMAILADD to replace long name ‘Webmaster@INFORMDECISIONS’
The Smart Router will check test value as conditional list, if found will replace test value by values which we have defined.

  * **And/Or**:  As implied.
  * **Attribute or Mapped Field**:  Data source for condition. This can be an external printer file attribute with prepended asterisk, or the name of an iDocs mapped field prepended with an ampersand (&). The mapped field is from the iDocs form specified in the Application definition. This is promptable. If a mapped field is specified the value used is the value for the spool file page currently processing and thus potentially changes for each page. If an external printer file attribute is specified this value of course is unchanging. The software will trim this value before evaluating, so leading and trailing blanks are discarded.
  * **Test**: The tests are performed using the C Standard Library Function [[ http://www.cppreference.com/wiki/c/string/strcmp | strcmp()]]. Both source and comparison value are treated as character data. The tests are:

<html><table style="padding: 10px; border:1px dashed gray;" width="50%">
<tr><th colspan="2" style="border-bottom: 1px solid gray;">Tests</th></tr>
<tr><td style="font-weight: bold;">*EQ</td><td>Equals</td></tr>
<tr><td style="font-weight: bold;">*NE</td><td>Not Equals</td></tr>
<tr><td style="font-weight: bold;">*GT</td><td>Greater Than</td></tr>
<tr><td style="font-weight: bold;">*GE</td><td>Greater Than or Equal To</td></tr>
<tr><td style="font-weight: bold;">*LT</td><td>Less Than</td></tr>
<tr><td style="font-weight: bold;">*LE</td><td>Less Than or Equal To</td></tr>
</table></html>

  * **Attribute or Map Fld or Value**: The comparison data for the test. This can be an external printer file attribute with a prepended asterisk, an iDocs mapped field with prepended ampersand (&), or a constant value without quotation marks. The software will trim this value before evaluating, so leading and trailing blanks are discarded.  The following external spool file attributes are supported as comparands:

^ Comparand keyword ^ Meaning ^
| ***BLANKS**  | The compared field is blank | 
| ***FORM** | Spool file form type | 
| ***JOBNAME** | Spool file job name | 
| ***OUTQUE** | Spool file outqueue | 
| ***OUTLIB** | Spool file outqueue library | 
| ***SPLFILE** | Spool file name  | 
| ***TOTALPG** | Spool file total pages | 
| ***USRPRF**  | User profile owning the spool file |
| ***USRDTA** | Spool file user data | 

1. The processing priority:

  * Map fields (with prefix ‘&’)
  * Attributes of spool file (with prefix ‘*’) attributes:
 *SPLFILE
 *USRPRF
 *JOBNAME
 *USRDTA
 *FORM
 *PGM
 *TOTALPG
 *OUTQUE
 *OUTLIB
  * Name object: The first ten characters will be look up in list name objects
  * Constant value       

2. Program will deal values above for both 2 fields: ‘Field’ and ‘Test value’. For example, we can define as below:
<html><pre> 
Field . . : ORLANDO@INFORMDECISIONS.COM                                

Test  . . : *EQ *EQ, *LT, *LE, *GT, *GE, *NE, *IN          

                                                            

Test value (&MapField, *Attribute,Value, Value1 Value2..)  

&EMAIL                                         
</pre></html>

3. Regarding test values: ‘Value, Value1 Value2…’ the program compare values as Constants
<html><pre>                                                 

                 Maintain Conditional List

In lieu of text, you can also insert the spool file date attribute value in the **Text** field. This attribute can be scrapped from the spool file and included in the output. In  the “Text” field of the Smart Router Target, add *SPLFDATE into Mapped field name and it will insert spool file create date in US format MM/DD/YY (iDOCS 8.0 04/22/2024)  

== F2=Conditionally Map ==

**On iDocs 6.96 and older...**
Under the Insert Text function of a Smart Router Application, Conditions were universally applicable to all Mapped Fields listed under the Source Spool Text parameters.

**On IDocs 6.97 and newer...**
Under the Insert Text function of a Smart Router Application, Conditions are now independently applicable to each of the Mapped Fields listed under the Source Spool Text parameters.\\
When you put the cursor on each of the Mapped Fields and select the **F2=Conditionally Map option**, you will see a window to apply your condition to the specific Mapped Field.
For example, for Mapped Field MAPONE, we can have a condition in which the Mapped Field is not equal (*NE) to - - - 
 - - - (five dashes) \\

F2=Conditionally Map option on Mapped Field MAPONE displays the screen below:

Select **option 8 to start**, **option 9 to end**.  You must specify a job queue into which the engine is launched. The job queue must feed into a batch subsystem. Job queue QS36EVOKE is configured as a multi threaded job queue leading into subsystem QBATCH by default in i5/OS as shipped from IBM; this is usually a good choice. You can also use FMGJOBQ but should check that it is multi threaded first.







===== Engine Processing Mode =====

**Versions 3.11 - 3.20:**

This functionality was removed in version 3.30. See the   [[pub:preprocessor#configuration | second configuration screen]].

As shipped the SmartRouter engine processes jobs serially as part of the engine thread,
i.e. it invokes the Smart Routing processor using a 'CALL' command. 

Because the processor opens a spool file for each possible target for each input spool file,
it can quickly exhaust the maximum number of spool files in the system value QMAXSPLF. Therefore,
one can configure the engine to process spool files in a separate thread using 'SBMJOB' rather than 'CALL'.

In the library PRRLOAD3 is a data area **PRJOBQ**. The engine loads this data area upon startup.
If it is blank the engine will 'CALL' the SmartRouting processor; if it contains the name of a jobqueue
it will use 'SBMJOB' to submit the Smart Routing processor to the jobqueue named in the data area.
The data area must be in the engine library list. If the processor is separately invoked into a jobqueue
for each input spool file each processing will start a new spool file number sequence.

===== Scheduling Engine Start / Stop =====




==== Start ====

Add the following entry to the schedule jobs:

**SBMJOB CMD(CALL PGM(PRR0459) PARM(SRENGINE)) JOB(SRENGINE) JOBQ(QS36EVOKE)**

Where:
  * **SRENGINE** is the name of the Smart Router engine definition.
 <html><span style="color: red;">
Do not use Q as the first letter of an engine definition. Q is reserved for operating system objects.<br/>
Do not name engines names in use elsewhere on your system. Give the engine a truly unique name.
</span></html>
  * **QS36EVOKE** is the name of a jobqueue, multi-threaded preferred but not required. QS36EVOKE ships by default as unlimited multi-threaded routing into subsystem QBATCH and is a good default choice.

Note that the JOB parameter, specifying job name, must precisely match the Smart Router engine definition name. This is done to provide a means of recognising the engine when ending the engine from the scheduled jobs function (see below).



==== Stop ====

To end a SmartRouter engine from the job scheduler, presuming that the job name is unique on your system, add this command to the job schedule:

ENDJOB JOB(SRENGINE) OPTION(*IMMED)

where SRENGINE is the job name of the engine and name of the Smart Router engine configuration.
<html><br/><span style="color: red;">
<b>Warning -- job selection is by job name and if you specify this incorrectly you can shut down any job so named, including operating system jobs. </b><br/>Do not use Q as the first letter of an engine definition. Q is reserved for operating system objects.</span><br/></html>








===== Upgrading the Smart Router =====

Smart Router upgrades in iDocs version 6 are part of COPYDATA, the iDocs migration utility.  If upgrading from an earlier release of the standalone Smart Router follow the below instructions.

To manually upgrade the Smart Router into the version integrated into the iDocs Suite please do the following:

  * Shutdown the Smart Router engines.
  * Then copy the following files from the Smart Router library (PRRLOAD) to the iDocs library (IDOCS):

''CPYF FROMFILE(PRRLOAD/**PRDAPPLM**) TOFILE(IDOCS/PRDAPPLM) FROMMBR(*FIRST) TOMBR(*FIRST) MBROPT(*REPLACE) CRTFILE(*NO) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP)\\ \\

CPYF FROMFILE(PRRLOAD/**PRDCOND**) TOFILE(IDOCS/PRDCOND) FROMMBR(*FIRST) TOMBR(*FIRST) MBROPT(*REPLACE) CRTFILE(*NO) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP)\\ \\

CPYF FROMFILE(PRRLOAD/**PRDMASTER**) TOFILE(IDOCS/PRDMASTER) FROMMBR(*FIRST) TOMBR(*FIRST) MBROPT(*REPLACE) CRTFILE(*NO) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP)\\ \\

CPYF FROMFILE(PRRLOAD/**PRDOUTQUE**) TOFILE(IDOCS/PRDOUTQUE) FROMMBR(*FIRST) TOMBR(*FIRST) MBROPT(*REPLACE) CRTFILE(*NO) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP)\\ \\

CPYF FROMFILE(PRRLOAD/**PRDTARGET**) TOFILE(IDOCS/PRDTARGET) FROMMBR(*FIRST) TOMBR(*FIRST) MBROPT(*REPLACE) CRTFILE(*NO) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP)'' \\ \\

  * Replicate the contents of data area **PRJOBQ** if it exists in the old stand-alone library:

''DSPDTAARA DTAARA(PRRLOAD/PRJOBQ) \\ \\
CHGDTAARA DTAARA(IDOCS/PRJOBQ) VALUE('JOBQUEUE')''  where JOBQUEUE is the name of a job queue from PRRLOADOLD/PRJOBQ.

  * Using the Smart Router configuration program **SR3**, press <enter> through all configuration screens to make certain any required defaults are written into the files.\\ \\
