Bursting: one run, many recipients

Lesson 33 of 177 · 2 min

Bursting splits ONE run into MANY documents with many recipients. One statement job producing four hundred PDFs, each emailed to its own supplier — rather than four hundred scheduled runs, or one PDF somebody has to split by hand. The control is a bursting query, and it returns one row per output document. Each row carries the KEY that splits the data, the template and output format to use, the delivery channel, and the address — an email address, an FTP path, a printer. THE SPLIT KEY MUST MATCH THE GROUPING IN THE DATA MODEL. Burst on supplier and the data model must group by supplier at the level the template repeats over; if the key names a column that appears at a lower level, the split is wrong in a way that produces documents rather than errors. AND THAT IS THE FAILURE TO BE FRIGHTENED OF: EVERYONE RECEIVES EVERYONE
