Altova FlowForce Server is an exciting tool for automatically executing XML/XBRL processing tasks, data mapping, and data transformation. FlowForce Server provides comprehensive workflow management and control for dedicated high-speed servers, virtual machines running locally or in the cloud, and even regular workstations that scale according to task size.
FlowForce Server utilizes a web interface to easily implement, manage, and modify data conversion tasks in busy data processing environments. FlowForce Server can manage multiple conversion jobs simultaneously, allowing users to instantly define and adjust various job triggers and operations, perform internal processing tasks, such as moving output files or cleaning intermediate work, and so on.
FlowForce Server continuously checks trigger conditions, initiates and monitors job execution, and records detailed logs of all activities.

FlowForce Server Job
FlowForce Server Job is a task or series of tasks executed by a server. Jobs can be very simple, such as moving files or sending emails, or performing multiple operations to execute complex workflows and passing the results (such as files) as parameters to other jobs. The assignment consists of input parameters, steps, triggers, and other settings.
The steps define the actions that the FlowForce Server Job actually needs to perform. In its simplest form, a job step is an operation that executes a function and reports successful or failed results. Structures can be defined to perform job steps conditionally or cyclically. Due to the fact that one step can perform a complete independent job, it can be nested. An assignment can contain the required number of steps and be executed in a defined order.
