Tuning step templates
Step templates that let RICOH ProcessDirector access applications on other computers must be tuned to run on the server that those applications are installed on.
The RunExternalProgram and RunHotFolderApplication step templates (and any copies of them) can be tuned to run on the primary server, an application server, or a secondary server.
If the RICOH ProcessDirector primary computer is a Linux system, step templates installed by some features must be tuned to run on application servers. These step templates (and any copies of them) must be tuned to run on application servers:
- RunPitStopOnJob
Some step templates installed by features (including document processing features) can only run on the primary server. If your environment includes RICOH ProcessDirector application or secondary servers, you must tune these step templates to run only on the primary server:
- CreateInserterReprints
- CreateJobsFromDocuments
- CreateReprints
- GroupDocuments
- InsertJobs
- ReadBarcodeData
- ReadDocumentsFromDatabase
- ReadDocumentsFromParent
- SendInserterControlFile
- SetDocPropsFromConditions
- SetInsertProperties
- SetJobPropsFromOriginal
- UpdateDocumentsInDatabase
- WaitForDocumentCompletion
- WriteDocumentsToDatabase
- WriteInserterControlFile
- WritePropsToReportsDatabase
