Select Job ID Source
The plugin can be used in a generic way. Whenever information about a specific print job is
required, it can be retrieved as long as the related job ID is known. However, the plugin has
been implemented so that it can also be used in the “OLCS_Interaction” process. It can get the
job ID from the incoming data of the HTTP Server Input plugin.
l
Read from HTTP Input Data. When this option is selected, the plugin analyzes the
incoming data and if it can find the job ID at the expected location, it uses it for further
processing.
l
Read from Variable. When selecting this option, any existing Workflow variable can be
chosen via the drop-down field. In this case the plugin reads the Job ID from that variable.
Select Returning Type
Depending on this setting the plugin gets status information about the job before it has arrived
or it gets information after the job has been completely received.
l
Immediately. By choosing this option, the Get Job Data plugin will return as quickly as it
can, providing it can find a matching job ID in the database. It is important to know that it
will wait until information about the job is available. If no matching Job ID is found, the
plugin will wait for 5 seconds and then raise an error, which can be acted upon using the
On Error tab settings.
When selecting this option, the Status ID information has to be checked. A Status ID
value of 1 or 6 indicates a fully processed job. Any value between 2 and 5 (inclusive)
means that the job is still in progress.
l
When Job Is Processed. When this option is selected, the plugin will query the
database until the Status ID value is 1 or 6. If the status does not become 1 or 6 within the
time defined via the Timeout (sec) input field, the plugin will raise an error (see above).
