HP_Digital_Front_End_JDF_Control - sscript editing

[framar]

Hi all,
ineed to configure the ReturnJmf Urlinto the "HP_Digital_Front_End_JDF_Control" module, but when i try to edit with switch script editor, it ask me for a password. I've analized the file, but it seems to be a zip archive,poassword protected.

I think could be this the correct way to change this URLinto *.mjm files: ReturnJMF="http://YOURHOSTNAME:9090/jmf" obtained from "HP_Digital_Front_End_JDF_Control" module for SWITCH.

Please help me.
Thank you,
F.

Is there a specific reason you use MJM files? JDF is more modifiable from within scripts. That said, you need to send a JMF to your DFE, which includes the ReturnJMF URL.

I've been using this, modified, script from crossroads to create a JMF and send it to HP Production Center, I'm not 100% sure, but I bet submission to the DFE will be exactly the same.

I believe this was my first touch with Switch scripting, so the modifications can probably be done better at this time.
job.getVariableAsString("[Job.Name]")

Code: Select all

function jobArrived( s : Switch, job : Job )
{

Hi,
i prefere to use .mjm files because is more comfortable to copy and move to one dfe or towards another one. I use it into another flow, to choose INDIGO EPM or CMYK separation mode, an is also useful to have instantly the sumbitting status of the job, and a real time notification of the cid@ of the submitted jom in one single submission.
So i need to collect the dfe sumbissions answers to my customized workflow application, in order to monitorate the job status.
But, i don't know how customize that ReturnJmf Url into HP dfe JDF control module for switch flow.

There is nobody use that module?

I just looked into the SDK documentation again, but I can't find any reference you can include returnJMF into a .mjm package. That sounds logical to me, since you can't include that with JDF, and the best I know about .mjm it is a jdf+pdf combined.

Can you tell me where you found this in the documentation, I guess I look over it, maybe then I'll get a idea to help.

Sorry for the delay in responding I was at DRUPA.

The latest beta of the JDF configurator allows you to set the ReturnJMF URL in the properties settings when output format is set to MIME. If you send me a PM I'll respond with an FTP to the Beta configurator.

Just to clarify:
a .mjm file includes a JMF SubmitQueueEntry, a JDF ticket and one or more asset files,
a .mjd file does not include the JMF SubmitQueueEntry, but this format is not currently supported by the configurator.

OK, i'm using .mjm files, and i need to customize the "ReturnJMF URL" in order to notify to my workflow management server, the status of the submitted mime ticket. So in a second time i can submit a SubmitQueueEntry to the dfe, in order to manage the previously sumbitted job.
I'm creating so the interface, to subsitute the SmartStream Pro interface via our custom external management web application, and integrate 100% the INDIGO area. Is our big project, and finally we are at leas at 70% overall status, but we need some extra detail.
I cannot write you PM because was disabled for me. But you can write me a mail to:
francesco.marra@pressup.it

Thank you in advance,
