Installing and Configuring LiveCycle for JBoss Creating and configuring a watched folder 108
➤ To create a workflow that includes an Assembler QPAC:
1. Deploy the Assembler QPAC to LiveCycle Workflow Designer. (See Using LiveCycle Assembler QPACs.)
2. In LiveCycle Workflow Designer, select File > New > Process Category.
3. Select the new process category and select File > New > Process Type.
4. Right-click the new process type and select New Workflow.
5. Name the workflow and use the default values for the remaining options (
synchronous is selected
and the other options are unchecked).
6. Create the variables for the workflow, as described in the “Variables for the Assembler QPAC” on
page 106 table, by clicking the green plus (+) button on the Variables palette. For more information on
creating variables, see LiveCycle Workflow Designer Help.
7. Create a new component category. (See Creating Workflows.)
8. Add the Assembler QPAC (deploy the component) to the new component category, and set the action
properties for the workflow, as described in the “Action properties for the Assembler QPAC” on
page 106 table.
9. Save and deploy the workflow process.
Creating and configuring a watched folder
You must create a directory on your file system that you can configure as a watched folder. After you have
configured the watched folder using the Watched Folder configuration interface, the watched folder
contains the following subdirectories:
/[watchedfolder]
/input
/stage
/failure
/result
/preserve
For information on the subdirectories, see Watched Folder Administration Help.
To submit files for processing, you place them in the /
[watched folder]/input directory.
When multiple files need to be included in the LiveCycle Assembler process, do not transfer the individual
files to the input directory; instead, create a separate collection directory, place all of the required files in it
(that is, the input PDF files and, if required, the DDX file), and then place the collection directory in the
input directory of the watched folder.
