TotalFlow BatchBuilder Schema

Using a mapping XSL file, you can configure an input device to transform all the orders received to the TotalFlow BatchBuilder schema and from TotalFlow BatchBuilder schema to schema corresponding to an output. If the order XML file structure does not match the TotalFlow BatchBuilder internal schema, the order is not accepted and an alert is displayed.

Various order XML formats can be converted to the TotalFlow BatchBuilder schema using an XML mapper.

The structure of the TotalFlow BatchBuilder schema is based on the internal TotalFlow BatchBuilder attributes.

The XML file must contain these fields:

number

The order number.

version

The order version.

<file>

This is an example of a minimal valid XML file:

<order xmlns="http://www.ricoh.com/TotalFlowBatchBuilder" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ricoh.com/TotalFlowBatchBuilder
C:\temp\hotFolderSchema.xsd" 
name="Custom"  number="1234" version="1.0">
	<jobList>
		<job>
				<file/>
		</job>
	</jobList>
</order>

This is an example of a valid XML file, containing multiple job details:

<order xmlns="http://www.ricoh.com/TotalFlowBatchBuilder" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.ricoh.com/TotalFlowBatchBuilder
C:\temp\hotFolderSchema.xsd"
name="Custom"  number="1234" receiveDate="2014-01-01" 
receiveTime="14:20:00-05:00" jobNumber="0611" version="1.0">
<customer name="CustomerOne"/>
<jobList>
<job name="Job1" copies="50" simplexDuplex="Simplex" 
plex="Normal" perforation="1" drilling="1" collation="1" 
proofing="1" color="C_PROCESS" productType="Book" 
isbn="980-2-17-158510-1" sku="F256" subPartNo="43" 
finisher="Binder" press="PrinterCX">
		<file ref="C:\temp\test\file1.pdf" 
		dataStream="DS_PDF"/><description>Sample file</description>
		<document pages="1"><size units="in" width="0" height="0"/> 
		</document>
			<media name="A4" type="MT_BOND" color="MC_WHITE"

		height="3.14159265358979"/><weight value="3.14159265358979" 
		units="gr"/>
			</media>
			<imposition name="Front" positionsPerSide="1"/>
			<binding style="BS_NONE"><spine size="3.14159265358979" 
				unit="in"/>
			</binding>
			<coating name="CN_UV" side="LS_FRONT" type="LT_ANTIQUE"/>
</job>
</jobList>
</order>
