Processing
The job is sent to the OLConnect Server for processing.
Output
Depending on the options set, either a simple metadata file with information about processing
is returned, or the actual output file created by the server.
Properties
The Create Output task properties are as follows:
General Tab
l Output Preset file:Select which Output Preset to use to generate the output. To be used
in this dialog, a preset must have been sent to PlanetPress Workflow using the Package
File function in PlanetPress Connect.
l "%o":Select to use a dynamic preset name. Click on %o to change the expression
that determines the name of the preset to use. The preset name must be available in
the list below.
l Preset Names:Select the appropriate preset to generate output.
l Output Management group:
l As defined by Output Preset:Select to send the output of the job to the location
set in the Print Preset (file, printer, etc).
l Through Workflow: Select to replace the current job file with the output produced
by the server. Every option in the Output Preset is still used, except for the output
location.
Note that when the output is separated, the current job file is not replaced with the
actual output files but with a CSV file that lists the paths to the outputted files (e.g.
“C:\Users\Administrator\Connect\filestore\3836.2859982401376467470\template_
0001.pdf,C:\Users\Administrator\Connect\filestore\3836.2859982401376467470\te
mplate_0002.pdf,…”).
OL Connect Proxy Tab
This tab is common to all OLConnect tasks and defines where to process the jobs sent through
these tasks. When these fields are empty, they use the defaults set in the OL Connect User
Options page of the preferences.
