Preparing for Job Submission

You can submit jobs to TotalFlow Production Manager using TotalFlow Prep or TotalFlow Production Manager Job Submission. You can also use such methods as Quick Submission, external connections, hot folders or LPD. No matter which submission method you use, you must create a workflow to receive the input files.

In this section:

  1. Configuring to Submit Jobs Using a Hot Folder
    To submit jobs using FTP or file copy, you use the hot folder protocol.
  2. Configuring to Submit Jobs Using LPD
    Before you can use the line printer daemon (LPD) protocol to submit jobs to TotalFlow Production Manager, you must configure the workflows that receive the jobs and define the hosts that can use the LPD protocol to submit jobs to TotalFlow Production Manager. You might also have to do some configuration tasks on these hosts.
