l The Designer's logging preferences are set via the Designer; see: "Logging preferences"
on page908.
l The Connect Server's settings are maintained by the Connect Server Configuration
utility tool; see "Server Configuration Settings" on page89. The logging level that is set
applies to the Server as well as the engines.
The Designer's log messages are also displayed in the Messages pane (see "Preflight Results
and Messages" on page1125). The Log Filter allows to define what kind of events may be
shown in the Messages pane (see "Log Filter" on page1126). That doesn't change the actual
logging level of the Designer, however; it only filters the log file.
Connect file types
This article describes the different file types that are related to PlanetPress Connect and its
different modules. These are files that are generally transferable between machines, can be
sent via email or other means.
l .OL-template: A Designer Template file (see "Templates" on page477). Is linked to a
data mapping configuration by default, but not necessarily.
l .OL-datamapper: A data mapping configuration file, which can include sample data
(excluding database source files such as mySQL, oracle, etc). See "Data mapping
configurations" on page222.
l .OL-datamodel: A data model file which can be imported or exported into either a data
mapping configuration or a template. Contains a list of fields and their data type (date,
currency, string, etc). See "The Data Model" on page291.
l Print Presets are used when generating a job, ready for output, from Designer (see
"Generating Print output from the Designer" on page1531) or through Workflow (see
"Print processes with OL Connect tasks" on page190).
l .OL-jobpreset: A Job Creation Preset file has settings for data filtering and sorting,
grouping (groups are used to split the print output), adding metadata fields, and
finishing options that override the template's Media and Section settings. (See "Job
Creation Presets" on page1538.)
l .OL-outputpreset: An Output Creation Preset file is used to generate the actual
print output in the appropriate format (pcl, pdf, etc). It includes print settings such as
impositioning (N-up, cut & stack), inserter marks, tray settings, separation etc. (See
"Output Creation Presets" on page1540.)
