Image Quality Analysis user exit

The Image Quality Analysis (IQA) user exit provides the user the ability to call IQA for both inbound and outbound transmissions. The IQA user exit can also modify image views and their formats, such as adding an image view type (black-and-white) or removing an existing type (gray scale). The Gateway calls the user exit for each item in the inbound and outbound transmissions that contains images.
Note: Outbound transmissions retrieve images from the Transaction Server.
Several Java™ interfaces are available for the IQA user exit. The main interfaces to be implemented are IQAJava_API for an inbound IQA user exit, and IQAJavaOutbound_API for an outbound IQA user exit. Both of these interfaces extend a common interface, IQAJavaBase_API. These interfaces provide the basic methods that are used by the user exit:
  • startJob
  • analyze or analyzeOutbound
  • endJob

The IQA*.java files in the samples directory contain examples of classes that implement the necessary interfaces for the IQA user exit. In addition, an example of adding images for an item is in the SampleAddImages.java file. The files for user exits are provided in the FTM artifacts pod and must be downloaded from the pod. For more information about getting files from the artifacts container for your offering, see Getting the files from the artifacts container for your FTM offering.

The following sections provide usage information and describe the methods for the Java interfaces and classes that are used by the IQA user exit.
