According to this source file naming pattern, only input files that
include the name of the publication, a six-digit date, the publication
part, and the file extension will be accepted by the smart hot folder.
●
Target Job Naming Pattern: The operator wants the job named
according to the publication name and date. The operator writes the
following target job naming pattern in the smart hot folder:
[%Name]_[#Date]
Although the input file includes the publication part and the
extension, these do not become part of the job name, and all parts
of the publication are processed in the same job
[%Name]_[#Date].
The input files
The operator is given the following three input files:
●
YouthZone_040404_InCovers.eps
●
YouthZone_040404_OutCovers.ps
●
YouthZone_040404_Pages.pdf
What happens
The operator drops the first input file
(
YouthZone_040404_InCovers.eps
) into the smart hot folder.
Since the input file name matches the source file naming pattern, the
smart hot folder accepts the input file.
The smart hot folder then searches for the job
YouthZone_040404
.
Because this is the first input file dropped for this edition, there is no
existing job. The smart hot folder automatically creates a new job
called
YouthZone_040404
and processes the input file.
The next two input files (
YouthZone_040404_OutCovers.ps
and
YouthZone_0404004_Pages.pdf
) match the source file
naming pattern and are accepted. The smart hot folder then searches
for—and finds—a job named
YouthZone_040404
. The smart hot
folder moves the input files into this job and automatically processes
them.
Dropping additional input files
The operator drops an input file named
YouthZone_Insert.pdf
into the smart hot folder. Because the input file name does not match
the source file naming pattern (it is missing the date), the smart hot
folder rejects the input file and moves it to the
Rejected
folder.
The operator drops an input file named
YouthZone_040418_Pages.pdf
into the same smart hot folder.
The input file name matches the source file naming pattern, but it does
