Integration Manager Terms help

[jymm]

I just want to make sure I got things right

when you are running scripts in an integration I want to know what is triggered when and maybe an example of what some folks are using these for

'Before Integration' - ok, I get this one. Before anything runs it will run this code - got it
'Before Document' - so if I am putting in some batches of GL entries I assume this fires before each one?
'Before Document Commit' - this one baffles me - in the GL example is it before it hits the DB so there could be a DB rollback (sorry - SQL commit has one meaning to me & I can not get that out of my head) -or- is this before it moves on to the next 'batch' (in my example)
'Document Warning' - so maybe each time there is a warning about a batch being out of balance you could do something?
'After Document' - so after my part of a GL batch is out there it would fire this?
'Document Error' - maybe in an automated mode this could email me - got it
'After Integration' - again an email might be nice, but other uses?
'Integration Error' - ok I can only think of the email example.

So - I guess I would like someone to tell me when each would fire and maybe when you would use it --- I have seen references to 'Before Document Save' script, but I do not see that one anywhere - so help there would also be great

Thanks - Jim

Document warning and Document error I believe refer to the single transaction.

I have an integration that creates a SALES batch with many transactions (documents) in it.

A document might give me a warning or an error but the integration could still finish the batch up.

so:

'Before Integration' - Before the Integration runs
'Before Document' - Before creating the transaction for the batch
'Before Document Commit' - if not in a batch, before commiting the single document
'Document Warning' - if the transaction generates a warning (a typo or a validation error)
'After Document' - After the transaction has been created and commited
'Document Error' - if the single transaction gave an error
'After Integration' - After running the integration, if it didn't fail
'Integration Error' - if the Integration failed at any time

take it with a grain of salt
