Documentation

Definition

When sending messages or processing incoming messages you have an option of selecting documents only having certain end digits (meaning the last digit of the document number).

This enables up to 10 runs to be run in parallel by selecting only one end digit for each run. Further, this ensures an equal distribution of the workload, as document numbers, whether internally or externally given, are more or less equally distributed across all possible end digits.

An overlapping occurance of end digits, for example:

  • Run 1: end digits 0 to 6
  • Run 2: end digits 5 to 9

is rejected by the program, as the appropriate locks are set.

If no end digit is specified, all documents are selected.
