Setting up folder-based profiles
The Folder Profile Setup dialog allows you to set up hot folders for
input, output, and error files, and to define a timeout interval.
NOTE: Input, output, and error files must be assigned to unique
locations.
The dialog includes the following options:
Profile name: Allows you to enter a name for the profile.
Input location: Allows you to select a hot folder on a local or
remote drive for Process Manager to place the files and for the
third party software to retrieve the files.
Provide available job data to external process by XML file:
Allows you to request the system to provide additional information
to the external process via an XML file written to the external
process input folder. Information includes job name, job ID, date
submitted, JDF and preflight results file path information, manifest
order jacket file information.
NOTE: The third party application should also be configured to
retrieve input at this location.
Output location: Allows you to select a hot folder on a local or
remote drive for the third party software to store successfully
processed files.
NOTE: The third party application should also be configured to
store successfully processed files at this location.
Error location: Allows you to select a hot folder for the third party
software to place error files. If error files are generated, the job will
fail.
NOTE: Creating an error file location is optional.
Timeout: Allows you to enter a duration to wait for the external
process to return processed files. If this time elapses with no
returned files or errors, the job fails. Seconds and minutes values
cannot both be zero.
