Question - What is Send Pipeline and their stages?
Answer -
A send pipeline is responsible for processing documents before sending them to their final destinations. The send pipeline takes one message and produces one message to send.
Send pipelines have three stages:
- Pre-assemble: It prepares the message for the outbound process.
- Assemble: It’s responsible for combining multiple messages into one large message with the format that will be sent over the wire (Aggregating multiples messages in a batch). In this step, we can change XML format of a message into a flat file, or possible adding envelopment to the XML message. In this stage, you can also demote the properties (those properties promoted in the Disassemble stage of the Receive pipeline and used for the routing of the message) from the context message.
- Encode: It’s responsible for writing the outgoing message in a fashion way in order to be understood by the target system. It involves encoding, compression, encrypting, and signing the message.
