Publish/Retrieve Workflow
The Publish/Retrieve Workflow traces containers in two individual processes. The first process publishes the containers to the provider system, so that it knows what containers we are interested. The second process retrieves status results from the provider and notifies Envase Connect Data, so that the TMS application receives the results through the registered Web-Hook.
Currently, EModal is the only provider that works this way, but there might be others in the future. The following diagram shows the design of the Publish/Retrieve Workflow:
The design is similar to the Real-Time Workflow, and identical for the TMS application and Envase Connect Data. The main difference is that the Container Publish Handler process invokes the Provider Publisher, so the container is published to the provider system.
Once the container is published, status changes for the container will be available in the provider system. The Results Retriever runs at a time interval and queries the provider for new results. When new status results are retrieved for a container, the results are sent to the notifier, which creates the Container Result Event for Envase Connect Data. Envase Connect Data then notifies the TMS application of the new status.
The containers are only published once to the provider system. After the initial publish, results are retrieved when they become available.
The following sections document the providers that use the Publish/Retrieve Workflow:
