Creating a transform object that updates the job's page count
By default, InfoPrint Manager has no knowledge of the number of pages in a
transformed job. However, if you have a transform that knows how many pages
are in the job, you can create a transform object that can update InfoPrint Manager
with this information. InfoPrint Manager can pass transform objects an
update_file
with the %u option. This update_file can be updated with how many pages are in
the transformed job, and InfoPrint Manager then updates the job with this
information. To modify the update_file, the user supplied transform needs to call
the transform_update utility that is supplied with InfoPrint Manager. For the
syntax of the
transform_update utility, see“Using the transform_update utility” on
page 205.
To define a data stream transform object from the InfoPrint Manager
Administration GUI , 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 Figure 25 on page
205.
For this example, the
passvals program that is called by the PASSVALUES
transform object gets passed both the resource-context document attribute and
the job-owner job attribute, as well as an update file. You should change the
passvals program to your transform program that knows how many pages are
in the job, and then change the parameters in "Transform options" to what your
program expects with the "%u" being the update_file that will be passed to the
transform_update utility when your transform calls it. Other attributes, like
resource-context and job-owner , can be included or omitted as required by the
needs of your transform.
