SubmitInputFiles
If the Create .zip file property for an input device is set to No, the step submits a parent job with a set of child jobs. A single input file is submitted as a single job that is processed by the child workflow, without a parent job. When there is a parent job and a set of child jobs, RICOH ProcessDirector maintains a relationship between the parent and child jobs throughout the time that they remain on the system. If the Merge dataset property for a Download input device is set to No, the input device submits multi-dataset jobs as a parent job with a set of child jobs.
If the Create .zip file property for a hot folder input device is set to Yes, the step collects all of the files that match the value of the Data patterns property and creates a .zip
file. The .zip
file
is submitted as a single job that is processed by the workflow.
