Download Job

The Download Job task downloads all job data from the OLRP server, with the option to receive it immediately or after a set time period. The job data can then be stored, sent as an email, and so on. The job data is received as a postscript file. To receive job data in other file formats and store the data attributes in variables, see the Get Job Info task.

The task gets all relevant information for the dedicated print job using the Unique Job ID. Whenever OLRP manages a print job, it creates a unique ID string composed of 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 plug-in 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.

Task Properties

General tab

• Job ID: Enter the job ID for the OLRP job to download. Then select Return immediately, or select Wait for job data and enter the time to wait, in seconds.
  
• Connection:: Select the appropriate OLRP server. If necessary, the server's connection and authentication details can be viewed, edited, and saved, using the icons to the right of the sever selection. Once new connection and authentication details are saved, they are available to select for all OLRP plug-ins. Workflows are specific to OLRP servers, so the same plug-in can be used with the same or different properties for multiple servers.
