ReadDocumentsFromDatabase

A step that is based on the ReadDocumentsFromDatabase step template copies the values of document properties for every document associated with the job from the document database or from the document's original job into the production job's document properties file.

The step uses the list of properties in the document properties template file to determine which properties to include in the document properties file. If no document properties template is provided, the document properties file will contain entries for all the document properties in the system.

Document properties that are in the original job's document properties file are copied into the document properties file for the production job. If the document properties template file requests a job property, the value of the job property from the original job is added to the document properties file for each document.

The administrator can specify the set of document properties to write to this file in a document property template file.
