General Information
Connect File Types
This article describes the different File Types that are related to PlanetPress Connect and its
different modules. These are files that are generally transferable between machines, can be
sent via email or other means.
l
.OL-template : A Designer Template file, including up to 3 contexts. Is linked to a data
mapping configuration by default, but not necessarily.
l
.OL-datamapper: A Data Mapping Configuration file, which can include sample data
(excluding database source files such as mySQL, oracle, etc).
l
.OL-datamodel: A data model file which can be imported or exported into either a data
mapping configuration or a template. Contains a list of fields and their data type (date,
currency, string, etc).
l
.OL-jobpreset: A job preset file, used when generating a job (ready for output) from
Designer or through automation (Create Job task). Does sorting, splitting, adding
metadata fields.
l
.OL-outputpreset: An output preset file, used to generate the actual print output in the
appropriate format (pcl, afp, pcl, ipds, pdf, etc). Includes print settings such as imposition
(n-up, cut & stack), inserter marks, tray settings, etc.
l
.OL-package: A transfer file used to package one or many of the above files (the data
model being part of both the template and the data mapping configuration). Created by
using the File -> Send to Workflow dialog, and choosing "File..." in the Destination box.
l
.OL-script: One or more designer "Scripts". Can be imported or exported from the Scripts
pane in Designer when a template is open.
l
.OL-printerdef: A Printer Definition File. Used by the Output Preset to determine what
type of output to produce. These are generated by an internal application that is not
currently distributed outside of OL, but the definition files themselves can be provided.
l
.OL-workflow: A Workflow file used by PlanetPress Workflow. Equivalent to .pp7 files
(they are, in fact, essentially the same format), containing the processes and such used by
Workflow.
