Lesson 11 of 175 · 2 min
Two real shapes, and both work, which is what makes them hard to argue against. ONE: A NIGHTLY FILE REBUILT AS AN ORCHESTRATION. A file arrives, an integration reads it, loops the rows, and calls Fusion once per row. It runs. It produces the right result. And it consumes a message per row where FBDI would have consumed nothing, takes longer, has more failure modes, and is now a component somebody has to maintain in place of a file load Fusion supports natively. The tell: the integration is doing what an adapter or a delivered loader already does, one record at a time. TWO: A REPORT IMPLEMENTED AS AN INTEGRATION. A flow that queries several sources, joins them, formats the result and emails it.
