Reframework event trigger

Help Studio
1

Team, I have a question.
I have a process where the user will send a PDF file via email.
The bot should trigger on an event basis, and each PDF needs to be converted into TIFF format.
I am planning to implement this using the REFramework with queues.
Should I develop separate code for a Dispatcher bot and a Performer bot?
After the Dispatcher bot adds the items to the queue, the Performer bot should process them and send the converted TIFF file back to the user via email

thanks

Hey @Vijayan_Sathyagiri_EXTERN,

Yes, develop separate Dispatcher and Performer bots; the Dispatcher will add PDF files to the queue, and the Performer will process each queue item to convert PDFs to TIFFs and send them via email. This separation aligns with best practices for scalability, maintainability, and clear workload distribution.

Thankyou
how performer bot triggers?

For this use Integration Services to monitor mailbox and trigger the Performer bot which will download, convert into TIFF format.

Use Event Trigger

No need of Dispatcher bot.

we have to use integrated services to download that pdf in locally. Then what about queue. Each transaction is pdf file

@Vijayan_Sathyagiri_EXTERN,

Integration Services won’t help you to download the pdf, it will just trigger the bot.

If you want to proceess pdf files individually, then I would suggest to build a dispatcher which will download the pdf and add their path to queue for further processing and get it triggered with integration Services.

Use Queue Trigger to trigger Performer bot

There are two thinnga here

  1. Thereis a feature request already in place to have add queue item when an integration call is made but not implemented yet so we might need to use a dispatcher if you want to go with ref and transaction basis
  2. Another way generally its advised to create a linear process for this case to convert and let the integration call decide how many processes will be called

I would say to not make things complicated its betterwe go with the second approach where the process will contain only download and conversion and whenever the email arrives the trigger would start the process..as ots a small task it should complete immediately as well

Cheers

i have to do in reframework in our organisation.

so pdf file locally and sending the path in queue item.
is it possible to do in storage buckets.

@Vijayan_Sathyagiri_EXTERN

REF can be converted to work as a linear process as well

If. You use dispatcher also in queue you can add message id as well and performer only we can download file usingn message id and only that resides in queueu

Cheers

ok will try and let you know.

Performer bot triggers automatically when a new queue item is added by the dispatcher in Orchestrator. Using Queue-based triggers which recommended for your case for efficient processing.

The bot can also be scheduled to check for new items at set intervals.

Manual trigger is possible via Orchestrator if needed.

@Vijayan_Sathyagiri_EXTERN

You can do it using Upload Storage File activity but it will be additional code you will have to write.

If your dispatcher and performer birth going to run on same machine, keep it on the local drive and add the file path to queue item
