Child job type

Specifies the workflow for the child jobs that are created by steps based on the CreateAFPJobsFromDocuments step template or the CreateJobsFromDocuments step template.

Alternatively, you can specify the child job type in the document properties file.

If a value exists in the document properties file, it takes priority. If neither the document properties file nor this child job type property specifies a value, an error occurs. If documents in the same child job have different job type values, an error occurs.

To specify a different workflow for each child job that the step creates, leave this property blank and instead set the child job type in the SetDocPropsFromConditions step using a property conditions file. In the property conditions file, set the Job.Doc.ChildJobType property to the same value for all documents in the child job.

Database name
Job.Doc.ChildJobType

Usage notes:

  • In some cases, a particular workflow in the job type list is not a valid selection. For example, the ErrorMessage, DownloadLineData, LineData, and LineDataWithOverrides workflows are all used for processing line data; line data is not supported as a type of print file. (If you want to process line data, you must first convert it to AFP.)
  • In addition to the workflows listed above, you can select a workflow that you have created as a child job type.
