Workflow processes in a Connect Send solution
OL Connect Send (see "OL Connect Send" on page487) needs one Workflow process to
handle the job transfer, and in licensed mode it needs at least one other process to interact with
the user. Reports about the use of OL Connect Send might be produced in yet another
Workflow process.
Each OL Connect Send solution will require the Workflow processes to be configured
differently, but certain plugins will always be part of the solution.
Job transfer process
The Workflow process that handles the job transfer starts with an HTTP Input task. The action
name of this HTTP Input task must match the last part of the URL for print job submission set in
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497).
Using the NodeJS Input task instead of the HTTP Input task requires adding an Advanced
Search & Replace task immediately before the Job Processor task. Set the String to search
parameter to: (<file name="[^"]*" original="[^"]*">)\n\s*(.*\..{3})\n\s*(.*). Then set
the Replace with parameter to $1$2$3, and make sure the options Search whole file and Treat
as regular expressions are ticked.
This is necessary because of an issue in the Job Processor plugin, which will be fixed in
version 2019.1.
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.)
