Domain / Workgroup Indicator: This domain name is the real domain name or only a
workgroup name. For explanations about domains, domain names, users, user names,
user domains, logged on users vs. application running users, machine names etc. please
refer to the respective Windows help pages or ask your system administrator.
l
Machine name: The name of the machine the OL Connect Send Printer Driver is running
on as retrieved by the respective Windows API.
l
Machine GUID: The unique machine ID of the machine on which the job was produced. It
can be used as an additional identification mark to validate the origin of the job.
On Error Tab
For a description of the options on the On Error tab see "Using the On Error tab" on page92.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab is common to all tasks. It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OK button, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Get Job Data
Creating an interactive process for incoming print jobs using OL Connect Send requires that
the relevant information about the respective job is available and can be used in Workflow. Job
Information retrieval is made easy with the Get Job Data plugin.
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.
