Examples of creating transform objects
The following shows three specific examples (from simple to more advanced) for
creating transform objects. The second and third examples require additional
programming to create the programs that are called from the
Transform options
field. This topic should suggest how you can use transform objects to customize
your InfoPrint Manager installation.
Creating a transform object to copy to a file without printing
To define a data stream transform object from the InfoPrint Manager
Administration GUI that takes an AFP input file and copies it to a file location on
the hard drive without printing the output, use this procedure:
1.
Start the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI .
2. Click the Server menu, and select Transform
→
Create .
3. In the Create Transform dialog, fill in the fields as shown in either Figure 22 on
page 201 or Figure 23 on page 202, depending upon your operating system.
These values create a transform that copies AFP input data to an
\afp folder on
a specific drive on Windows or a /usr/samp file system on AIX. Also, it names
the transformed file with the name of the original file name because of the %n
substitution variable.
4. Since you do not want the job to be printed, select the Transform only radio
button to indicate that this transform is a terminating transform.
