NotethattheOutput Type,onthePrintOptionspageintheOutputCreationdialog,issettoPrompt
for file name.ThissettingisoverruledintheWorkflowconfiguration(seebelow).
Workflow configuration
WhenevernewinputdataappearsintheWorkspace\Infolder,thelettertemplateisautomatically
mergedwithitandthenprinted.Thatis,iftheWorkflowserverisrunningwiththeWorkflowcon-
figurationinstalledbytheSampleProject.
Thisproject'sWorkflowconfiguration:Print Promotional Jobs,containsjustoneprocess:abasicOL
ConnectWorkflowPrintprocess(see"PrintprocesseswithOLConnecttasks"onpage172).
Itconsistsofthreeplugins:
l
TheFolder CaptureInputtask.ThistaskretrievesallXMLfilesthatentertheWorkspace\In
folder.
l
TheAll In Oneplugin.Thispluginusesthedatamappingconfigurationandtemplatethatcome
withtheproject,andtheOutputCreationPresetselectedintheSampleProject.Thepluginisset
tohandletheoutput'ThroughWorkflow'.Thismeansthatthetaskwillreturntheoutputfiletothe
Workflowprocess.
l
TheSend to FolderOutputtask.ThistaskwritestheoutputfiletoasubfolerintheWork-
space\Outfolder.Itmakesuseofsystemvariables(seeStandardvariables)todynamicallycre-
ateasubfolderbasedonthecurrentmonthandyear(%M_%y).Thenameofthefileconsistsof
theoriginalfilename(%O),thecurrenttime(%h%n%s)andthefileextension.Thefileextension
(.pdf,.pclor.ps)matchestheoutputtechnologyselectedintheSampleProject.
BoththeFolderCaptureandtheSendtoFoldertaskreadtheproject'sWorkspacepathfromaglobal
variable.ThevalueofthatvariableissetbytheSampleProjectwhenitinstallstheproject.
Customizingtheproject
AprojectisagreatstartingpointforbuildinganOLConnectsolution.Thispartexplainshowtomake
changestotheproject.
DoyouintendtoexpandtheprojectintoasolutionwhereWorkflowrunsonadifferentmachinethat
alsohasadifferentregionalsetting?ThenindicatethedesiredencodingintheDesignerpreferences
(see"SampleProjectdeploymentsettings"onpage802)beforeinstallingtheproject.
Input data
Here'showtoadjusttheprojecttoinputdatathathasadifferentstructureorfiletypeorcomesfroma
