Barr EOM
Use this dialog box for selecting and updating a transform. You can access this dialog box when you configure a transform action for business rules, ad hoc rules, or output processes or when configuring an IPDS destination.
We recommend installing Ghostscript (available
as a freeware download) and Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader (or the full version
of Adobe Acrobat if available) on servers that are using EOM Transforms.
Installing these packages provides access to certain Postscript and PDF
Type 1 fonts. The associated viewers are also useful for Postscript and
PDF troubleshooting.

* Text and mixed mode AFP (MMD) documents may have a number of different record structures. Possibilities include standard ASCII text, fixed-length records (FBA or FBM) with defined record lengths, variable length records with defined delimiters, VBM, VBA, S/370, NJE wrapped, etc. Barr EOM attempts to automatically detect the record format to perform the transform.
Configuration column - Specifies if you want to use the default conversion options, use a custom set of options, or not to transform data.
Modify/New column - Specifies custom transform options and command line switches. Clicking this cell displays the following tab pages listing all of the available transform options: Input options tab, Output options tab, and Page Layout tab. If BMP or PDF is selected as the output format, the Bitmap output tab or PDF output tab will also display. Once the transform settings are configured, the new transform configuration will be selected in the Configuration column.
Input document - Specifies the follow on actions for the input document (original document). You can choose to delete, retain, or process the next rule for the input document. The newly created documents (output documents) continue with the next rule action. If Process next rule is selected for the input document, the input document will skip the rest of the actions in the current rule and begin processing at the start of the next rule.
Follow on actions are only available when
configuring transform actions for business
rules.
