HP Digital Front End JDF control V8 not working

Fist · Post by **Fist** » Tue Feb 16, 2016 11:48 am

My Workflow with HP Digital Front End JDF Control was working fine until I was recommended to upgrade to v8.

The configurator still makes a jdf but it still stops in the RIP.

"invalid RIPRunList" and Invalid FileSpec: File Path=(0) are the errors I get in the log-file.

Someone any idea's?

Regards

Fist

Can you screenshot your settings?

Maybe this topic can help you, LasseThid's last reply has correct settings for Mac.

I've reviewed the http://forum.enfocus.com/viewtopic.php? ... 789&p=4107 and it looks similar to the problem I have.

in https://cartamundi.sharefile.eu/d-s4aad4130ecb4c5ba you can find the requested screenshots.

What's behind the Asset Location URL 'Multi-line text with variables defined'?
Can you post your output JDF?

https://cartamundi.sharefile.eu/d-sae99950f8464698b is the jdf

Behind de Assets Location URL is file://Volumes/Jobs/Switch-DFE-Output-DECKS/[Job.NameProper].pdf

Code: Select all

<LayoutElement>
	<FileSpec MimeType="application/pdf" URL="file://Volumes/Jobs/Switch-DFE-Output-DECKS/P 48676_D3-Home reprint 0216.pdf"/>
</LayoutElement>

This is incorrect due to your Asset Location URL: file://Volumes/Jobs/Switch-DFE-Output-DECKS/[Job.NameProper].pdf

Your DFE needs access to the location to download the asset, and it can't access Volumes/Jobs because it does not exist. This is where your mac mounts the Jobs share.
Change it to FILE://hppro1-sm1/Jobs/Switch-DFE-Output-DECKS/[Job.NameProper].pdf, offcourse you have to change hppro1-sm1 to whatever your DFE is named.

By name of your DFE doe yu mean host name or mapped Devices?

Hostname of the server where your Jobs share lives

HPPro01-SM01, but still no results.

Does FILE:// need to be there?

FILE://HPPro01-SM01/Jobs/Switch-DFE-Output-DECKS/[Job.NameProper].pdf

That should do the trick, including FILE://

And please, do yourself a favour and rename your jobs before the JDF Configurator!

Strip spaces and stuff like that, can be a issue too!

After a full week of trial and error I regret deeply to have upgraded the configurator. Non of the WorkFlows can be used because the jdf file goes straight into the error-folder without any warning.

Screenshot all your JDF configurator settings once more! Now! Fast!
