Spool directory names

The default spool directory that RICOH ProcessDirector creates for a job is /aiw/aiw1/spool/default/JobNumber (AIX and Linux) or C:\aiw\aiw1\spool\default\JobNumber (Windows).

For example:

  • /aiw/aiw1/spool/default/10000006 (AIX or Linux)
  • C:\aiw\aiw1\spool\default\10000006 (Windows)

The default spool directory that it creates for a child job is /aiw/aiw1/spool/default/JobNumber.Number (AIX and Linux) or C:\aiw\aiw1\spool\default\JobNumber.Number (Windows). For example:

  • /aiw/aiw1/spool/default/10000006.4 (AIX or Linux)
  • C:\aiw\aiw1\spool\default\10000006.4 (Windows)

RICOH ProcessDirector messages and the properties notebook for a job refer to the spool directory as the Root file path.

RICOH ProcessDirector always uses these naming conventions for the names of the default spool directories. Authorized users cannot change the default naming conventions.

You can create additional spool directories. Additional spool directories have names in this format: /aiw/aiw1/spool/SpoolName/JobNumber (AIX and Linux) or C:\aiw\aiw1\spool\SpoolName\JobNumber (Windows) and /aiw/aiw1/spool/SpoolName/JobNumber.Number (AIX and Linux) or C:\aiw\aiw1\spool\SpoolName\JobNumber.Number (Windows). SpoolName is the subdirectory name that the authorized user assigned.
