The Watch Object
The PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools scripting offers a number of methods of communicating with your process by means of
the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools automation object's methods and functions. The automation object is available in all 4
languages through their own syntax - the examples provided here are for VBScript.
While the functions here are in mixed case to simplify reading, it's important to note that some languages (especially
Javascript)are case-sensitive and will require the proper case. Examples in this chapter will always use the proper
case when relevant.
Here is a list of the methods and functions that are available to you through the automation object (or "Watch" object). While
these examples are all in VBScript, you can click on any variable name to open a page to see examples for each supported lan-
guage.
Variable Name Description
Example Usage (VBScript)
Watch.GetJobFileName Retrieves a string containing the job path and filename located in the job spool folder.
Example Usage: str = Watch.getjobfilename
Watch.GetOriginalFileName
Retrieves a string containing the job's original path and filename. Note: this filename is gen-
erally no longer available if it has been captured by Watch.
Example Usage: str = Watch.getoriginalfilename
Watch.GetMetadataFilename
Retrieves a string containing the job's metadata path and filename. This is useful when using
the Metadata API in your script.
