OS4X Portal - plugins

Plugins

A licensed OS4X Portal instance is able to run all available plugins (also custom ones). The basis for all portal jobs is the correct configuration of the required plugins and the used plugin groups. The two main (synchronous) plugins are:

• Portal receive job
• Portal send job

Transmission plugin groups

The by default provided plugin groups handle the incoming and outgoing data transmissions of portal jobs:

• Portal send plugin group (transmit data and job meta information from the internal zone to the DMZ)
• Portal receive plugin group (handle a single job, generated in the DMZ for the transmission to the internal zone)

Other plugin groups

Some helpful plugin groups exist for managing data security and internal processes of portal jobs. These are:

Internal zone only

• Reminder plugin group for outgoing portal jobs (start a reminder for received portal jobs, after a configurable timeout of job inactivity)
• Reminder plugin group for incoming portal jobs (start a reminder for sent portal jobs, after a configurable timeout of job inactivity)

Both internal zone and DMZ

• Plugin group for fetched outgoing portal jobs (handler for fetched outgoing portal jobs, typically used for cleanup tasks)
• Plugin group for fetched incoming portal jobs (handler for fetched outgoing portal jobs, typically used for cleanup tasks)
