CreateOrdersFromFile

A step based on this step template lets you create one or more orders from the contents of an XML input file, using the values configured in an order property mapping object. The step submits the jobs to a workflow that you specify.

Job property defaults

  • Order input file: ${getFileName(print, xml, read)}
  • Property mapping: Not set
  • Create as child jobs: No
  • Workflow for jobs: Not set

Usage notes:

  • This step only runs on the primary server. Do not tune it to run on a local secondary server.
  • The step creates orders with jobs inside them based on the XML element mappings in the selected property mapping object. Verify that the property mapping object is compatible with the XML files that you plan to submit to this step.
  • The value of the Create as child jobs property determines whether this step creates child jobs or independent jobs.
