the printer driver installer (by default: olcs_transfer).
The Job Processor plugin is the only other task in this Workflow process (see "Job Processor"
on page549).
Interactive process
When a job is received in licensed mode, an interactive process is started. This process, which
may consist of several Workflow processes, serves web pages to the customer and handles the
customer's response, changing (settings for) the print job.
A few of the key components in this process are:
l
The HTTP Server Input plugin. The interactive process start with this plugin. The action
name of this HTTP Input task must match the HTTP action for interaction given in the
Connect Send Printer Driver installer (by default: olcs_interaction). (See HTTP Server
Input.)
l
The Get Job Data plugin. Creating interactive processes for incoming print jobs requires
that the relevant information about the respective job is available and can be used in
Workflow. This is what the OL Connect Send Get Job Data plugin is made for. (See "Get
Job Data" on page544.)
l
The Create Web Content plugin. Each web page served by an interaction process is
generated by this plugin. (See Create Web Content.)
l
The Create Preview PDF plugin generates a PDF preview for a single record as fast as
possible. It is typically used for previews embedded in web pages. (See Create Preview
PDF.)
Production report process
The key plugin in a process that produces reports about jobs received with OL Connect Send is
the Get Data plugin. It allows to query the OL Connect Send database. (See "Get Data" on
page538.)
