XML Jobs Root Folder
When using the XML Jobs Root Folder option, the XFile only scans its local folder.
To use this option, proceed as follows:
1. Select the Scan XML Jobs Incoming Folder option above the XML Jobs Root
Folder field.
2.
Specify the local folder that will receive XML files. The default local folder is
C:\XFile_XML.
XFile will handle all XML files stored in this folder.
XML Load balancing Jobs Root Folder
The load balancing process allows spreading the XML jobs over several XFile
applications. In this case, all XML files are stored in a single folder on the network. All
XFile applications scan this folder and the jobs are distributed among the various XFile
applications, depending on their availability.
When using the XML Load Balancing Jobs Root Folder option, all XFile applications
will scan the same folder on the network.
To use the load balancing option, proceed as follows:
1. Select the Scan XML Load Balancing Jobs Incoming Folder check box.
2. In the XML Load Balancing Jobs Root Folder field, specify the folder on the
network that will receive all XML job files.
3. In the Load Balancing XFile Identifier field, type an identifier for the XFile. This
will be used in the XML files to specify which XFile has handled the job.
When it is available, XFile will handle the XML files in this folder.
