Get Job Data
Creating an interactive process for incoming print jobs using OL Connect Send requires that
the relevant information about the respective job is available and can be used in Workflow. Job
Information retrieval is made easy with the Get Job Data plugin.
The plugin appears in the Plug-in Bar of Workflow under OL Connect Send.
Typically, it is used in the OL Connect Send interaction process, just after the initial HTTP
Server Input plugin.
The Get Job Data plugin gets all relevant information for the dedicated print job using the
Unique Job ID. Whenever an OL Connect Send Printer Driver is sending a print job to the
OL Connect Send Job Processor plugin, it creates a unique ID string composed from 10
upper- and lowercase letters and digits e.g. “ri0zZdluLp”. This Unique Job ID is used in any
communication between the Printer Driver and the plugin and is the leading identification
element for this particular job. All job related information is stored in the underlying database
and linked together by this Unique Job ID.
Note
The Get Job Data plugin gets data from the OL Connect Send database which means it only
works when Connect is in LICENSED mode.
