Job Initiators
Three job initiators are available in Xsquare:
Job Initiators
Description
Targets
A job is triggered from a client application when the user calls
the Target associated to the job.
See section "Defining a Target" on page 8
ScanFolders
A job is triggered when a file is dropped in a folder defined in the
ScanFolder configuration and scanned by Xsquare.
See section "Defining a ScanFolder" on page 11
ScanXML
A job is triggered when an XML definition file is dropped in a
folder defined in the ScanXML configuration and scanned by
Xsquare.
See section "Defining a ScanXML" on page 18.
Target
A Target is a destination that the users in the client application can send a source material
to. The source material can undergo processing before being sent to the destination. The
Targets use the Soap V2 jobs.
ScanFolder
A ScanFolder consists in a folder that is scanned by an Xsquare service (ScanFolder
service) to check for files to be processed. The folder is scanned when it is defined in an
active (started) ScanFolder in Xsquare. When a file with the file extension defined in the
ScanFolder configuration is dropped into the scanned folder, the ScanFolder service
creates a job to process this source file as defined in the job template. Once the file is
processed, it is sent to the destination defined in the job.
ScanXML
A ScanXML instruction consists in an XML job definition file (V1 job) stored in a dedicated
folder by a client application. The folder is scanned by the ScanXML service of Xsquare
when it is defined in an active (started) ScanXML. When the client application drops the
XML job file in the scanned folder, the ScanXML service creates a job to process the
source file as defined in the job template.
When no job template is associated to the ScanXML definition in Xsquare, the
instructions contained in the XML job file are taken into account. Otherwise, the
instructions are merged based on specific merge rules.
