HP Digital Front End JDF control V8 not working

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.

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.

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!
