Input
The Job Processor plugin must be added to a Workflow job transfer process that starts with
an HTTP Server Input. The Job Processor plugin is the only other task in that process.
The action name of the HTTP Input task must match the last part of the URL for print job
submission, set in the OL Connect Send Printer Driver installer. By default this is olcs_transfer.
After the job is processed, the HTTP Server Input returns a reply from the Job Processor
plugin back to the OLCS Printer Driver in order to notify the user that the job has been
received successfully (or failed if an error occurred).
Note
It is strongly recommended that a single job transfer process for all OL Connect Send Printer
Drivers is created, using the domain or machineโs or user information to divert to any follow-up
processes.
This single transfer process can be set to "Self Replicating", so that parallelization is possible.
Processing
The Job Processor plugin receives a compressed PostScript file sent by the OL Connect Send
Printer Driver and communicates with the Printer Driver to ensure that all data has been
received correctly. If the Printer Driver has split the job into multiple chunks, the plugin
combines the chunks into one PostScript file.
License mode
Each incoming print job is checked against the license to determine if it can be handled in
licensed mode or in unlicensed mode.
If OL Connect Send is unlicensed, the plugin stores the incoming job in the target folder using
the specified file name, but it does not save any information in the database. The end user will
receive a message in the Notification Area (also called "system tray") confirming the unlicensed
status, and the printer driver will not request another web page.
In licensed mode, the plugin will store all relevant information about each job in the OL
Connect Send database. This database is a HSQLDB and is installed automatically.
Subsequent Workflow processes can use the information in the database for additional
processing (see "Get Job Data" on page๎605).
Whether OL Connect Send is licensed can be seen on the General tab of the properties dialog.
