Select Returning Type
Depending on this setting the plugin gets status information about the job before it has arrived
or it gets information after the job has been completely received.
l
Immediately: By choosing this option, the Get Job Data plugin will return as quickly as it
can, providing it can find a matching Job ID in the database. It is important to know that it
will wait until any information about the job is available. If no matching Job ID is found, the
plugin will wait for 5 seconds and then raise an error, which can be acted upon via the On
Error tab settings.
When selecting this option, the Status ID information has to be checked. A Status ID
value of 6 indicates a fully processed job. Any value between 2 and 5 (inclusive) means
that the job is still in progress.
l
When Job is Processed: When this option is selected, the plugin will query the
database until the Status ID value is 1 or 6. If the status does not become 1 or 6 within the
time defined via the Timeout (sec) input field, the plugin will raise an error.
Select Output Type
l
XML Data to Workflow: This will result in an XML file containing all job related data and
becoming the new Workflow job file. In this case, the incoming data file of the HTTP
Server Input plugin is overwritten and lost.
l
Write to Variables: This allows print job information to be stored in Workflow variables by
using a simple drop-down list. In this case, the HTTP Server Input data will be kept as
Workflow job file. If the same Workflow variable is assigned more than once, the plugin
will give a warning and will not close until the issue is fixed.
Returned information
For each job received by the OL Connect Send Job Processor plugin the following values will
be available.
l
Job UID: This is the 10 (ten) character long Unique Job Identifier string.
l
Status ID: The status ID shows in which stage the job currently is:
0 = undefined; 1 = idle; 2 = transfer; 3 = chunk; 4 = concatenate; 5 = unzip; 6 = done.
A value of 6 indicates a fully processed job. Any value between 2 and 5 (inclusive) means
that the job is still in progress. For a small job, some statuses may be skipped.
