Bulk Processing - Xerox 5 User Manual

Bulk Processing

Bulk Processing allows a VIPO user to direct the PDF output of multiple jobs to a single
"bulk" directory, typically to facilitate batch or other automated post-processing of the
VIPO-generated output.
The VIPO system administrator must ensure that your system is upgraded to a VIPO
software version that supports Bulk Processing. If you do not upgrade, jobs submitted to
the bulk folder will be processed in the same manner as non-bulk jobs and the results will
be generated in individual subfolders on a per-job basis.
To enable Bulk Processing, if not automatically created during installation, each user
must create two additional directories, \incoming\bulk and \incoming\bulk_status, as
shown:
Jobs sent to a bulk destination folder will have their PDF output sent to
\user\incoming\bulk, while the status folders and files for those jobs accumulate in
\user\incoming\bulk_status. All PDFs generated using Distill Only, Distill and Split, and
Split Only options, and the index file for each submitted job, are placed in
\user\incoming\bulk.

NOTE
Ensure that your job and file naming conventions and split templates do
not cause output file name clashes that result in overwritten files.
