Setting up folder-based profiles 

The Folder Profile Setup dialog allows you to set up hot folders for 

input, output, and error files, and to define a timeout interval. 

NOTE: Input, output, and error files must be assigned to unique 

locations.

The dialog includes the following options: 

Profile name: Allows you to enter a name for the profile.

Input location: Allows you to select a hot folder on a local or 

remote drive for Process Manager to place the files and for the 

third party software to retrieve the files.

Provide available job data to external process by XML file: 

Allows you to request the system to provide additional information 

to the external process via an XML file written to the external 

process input folder. Information includes job name, job ID, date 

submitted, JDF and preflight results file path information, manifest 

order jacket file information. 

NOTE: The third party application should also be configured to 

retrieve input at this location. 

Output location: Allows you to select a hot folder on a local or 

remote drive for the third party software to store successfully 

processed files.  

NOTE: The third party application should also be configured to 

store successfully processed files at this location.

Error location: Allows you to select a hot folder for the third party 

software to place error files. If error files are generated, the job will 

fail.

NOTE: Creating an error file location is optional. 

Timeout: Allows you to enter a duration to wait for the external 

process to return processed files. If this time elapses with no 

returned files or errors, the job fails. Seconds and minutes values 

cannot both be zero.
