Input and Output

EngageOne™ Enrichment requires at least two files for input: a control file (the EngageOne™ Enrichment application code) and an existing print stream file. From these, EngageOne™ Enrichment creates two or more output files: the EngageOne™ Enrichment Report and an enhanced print stream. The diagram below illustrates the minimum input and output for an EngageOne™ Enrichment application.

Optional inputs to EngageOne™ Enrichment include:

  • Multiple input print streams to combine
  • Supplementary information, including inserts and banners, to use as added pages or added records
  • A rule file for conditional processing
  • Postal presort parameter files
  • An address database
  • (Mainframe only) Temporary Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) file for EngageOne™ Enrichment I/O processing

Optional outputs from EngageOne™ Enrichment include:

  • Multiple enhanced output print streams, output page ranges, or convenience breaks
  • Multiple side files per output, including Reprint Indexes and AFP Indexes, that contain user-specified information about each document in the output
  • Postal address cleansing and presort reports can be included in EngageOne™ Enrichment output when an address cleansing or postal presort product (such as Finalist or Mailstream Plus) is called from EngageOne™ Enrichment

EngageOne™ Enrichment can also read and write external sequential or VSAM files and can access user-written functions.

The following diagram fully illustrates the input and output types.
