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.

Three different settings affect the general behavior of the plugin:
l
Where to get the Print Job ID.
l When to continue with the next step.
l Where to store the job information details.
Select Job ID Source
The plugin can be used in a generic way. Whenever information about a specific print job is
required, it can be retrieved as long as the related job ID is known. However, the plugin has
been implemented in a way that it can also be used very easily in the OL Connect Send
interaction process. It can get the related job ID from the incoming data of the HTTP Server
Input plugin.
l
Read from HTTP Input data: When this option is selected, the plugin analyzes the
incoming data and if it can find the Job ID at the expected location, it uses it for further
