Input SOAP
The SOAP Input task (or Input Soap)is used to answer calls from a remote SOAPclient and to return a response to that
request. It is similar in functionality to the HTTPServer Input.
SOAPcommunication is non-trivial and requires a certain understanding of XMLand the SOAPprotocol. Using the
SOAPtasks pre-supposes this knowledge and this documentation does not attempt to provide it.
The SOAPInput Task only responds to a single SOAPaction by the client:SubmitJob. Within this request however, a sec-
ondary action (SubmitSOAPActionName)can be specified - this is what the SOAPAction corresponds to in this task's prop-
erties.
General Tab
l SOAP Action: The SOAP action is used with the SubmitJob action. It’s the equivalent of the process name. The dif-
ference is that more than one processes can share the same SOAP action. That way more than 1 CPU can be used to
process all the incoming requests however this means that all process sharing the same SOAP action must be identical
because there is no way to decide the execution order of all the process.
"Other" Tab
l Job Information group
l Information elements:indicates what job infos are automatically created by the input task.
l Add lines before first data page:Using the arrows keys you can add any job information directly at the
beginning of your data file.
l Backup input files:Check this to save a copy of each data file that is captured by your input. These files are saved in
the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools working folders under the "Backup"folder.
l Backup filename:Enter the filename that you wish the input data file backup to be saved under.
l Delete Existing Metadata:Check to remove any metadata from memory. This option is disabled on initial input
tasks, and is checked by default on secondary input tasks.

LPD Input
LPD (Line Printer Daemon) input tasks retrieve data in the form of print files sent from remote computers using the LPD/LPR
protocol. ThePlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools LPD server starts automatically when a configuration that includes at least one
active LPD input task is started.
To prevent conflicts between competing LPD servers, you must not run any other LPD server then the PlanetPress Suite Work-
flow Tools LPD server on PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools workstation.
