Introduction
FlowForce Server is a cross-platform software solution that enables you to automate XML/XBRL-processing tasks, data mappings, data transformations, common server tasks, and many other tasks. FlowForce Server has a Web interface that allows you to create, administer, and modify jobs. The Web interface also enables you to create and manage users and roles, define privileges and permissions, and configure various other settings. FlowForce Server continuously checks for trigger conditions, starts and monitors job execution, and logs all system- and job-related activities. FlowForce Server is available on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
You can integrate FlowForce Server with other Altova products, which will enable you to automate various data-processing tasks:
•For example, you can deploy MapForce mappings and StyleVision transformations directly to FlowForce Server, which allows converting your data transformations to flexibly configurable jobs.
•To run jobs created from deployed MapForce mappings and StyleVision transformations, FlowForce Server calls MapForce Server and StyleVision Server, respectively.
•You can also configure RaptorXML Server and RaptorXML+XBRL Server tasks as FlowForce Server job steps. This will enable you to validate XML and JSON files, XBRL instance documents and XBRL taxonomies, and perform XSLT and XQuery operations.
With FlowForce Server, you can also create and automate common server tasks, such as sending emails, managing files on the local system or network, running shell scripts, and others. FlowForce Server Advanced Edition can send and accept AS2 messages and supports the distributed execution of jobs on multiple servers running as a cluster.
