Order input file

The CreateOrdersFromFile step sends the XML file to a property mapping object configured to interpret the file. The property mapping object finds each occurrence of the XPath value set as the order identifier and creates an order for each one. Then it creates jobs inside each order. The step submits each XML file separately.

Values:

Default

${getFileName(print, xml, read)}

Database name

Job.XmlMapping.InputFile

Usage notes:

• The XML input file can be submitted to an input device or stored at another location on the system.

  • If it is submitted to an input device, keep the default value for the Order input file property.

  • If it is stored at another location, specify the full path and file name as the value of the Order input file property.

    When the XML input file is stored at another location, the file does not become part of the job that the CreateOrdersFromFile step processes. The step reads the information in the file and submits those XML files as jobs.

• You can also select a step resource object as the value for the property instead of providing a path and filename. Using a step resource lets you change the specific file without editing all of the workflows that contain the step that uses the file.

• You can use RICOH ProcessDirector symbol notation for the name of the file. For example, the default value returns the name of an XML file in the spool directory for the job. For more information about symbol notation and how to use it, refer to the help system.
