Deploying QPACs and creating a workflow process

There are two QPACs used to create workflows for LiveCycle Assembler: the Assembler QPAC and the
CreateDocumentList QPAC. The Assembler QPAC is used for all LiveCycle Assembler workflows, whether
you are using Watched Folder or another method of initiating the process (for example, client applications
or web services).
This section describes how to create a workflow process that uses the Assembler QPAC, including how to
create the required variables and action properties in LiveCycle Workflow Designer. For information on
creating a workflow process that uses the CreateDocumentList QPAC, see the Using LiveCycle Assembler
QPACs guide.
The steps for creating a workflow process that includes an Assembler QPAC are similar to those for creating
any workflow process using LiveCycle Workflow Designer. The procedure here provides details specific to
the Assembler QPAC. For more information on creating workflows, setting up variables, and setting action
properties in a QPAC, see the Creating Workflows and Using LiveCycle Assembler QPACs guides.

Using dynamic or static DDX files

When you submit jobs to Watched Folder for processing by LiveCycle Workflow and LiveCycle Assembler,
you can use a dynamic or a static DDX file. When you create or use an application to submit jobs to
LiveCycle Assembler that uses only the QPAC workflow (without Watched Folder), you must use a static
DDX file.
A workflow that uses a dynamic DDX file processes the DDX file that is included in the input folder in a
watched folder. To use a dynamic DDX file in your workflow process, you must create an
variable and specify it in the action properties of the QPAC.
A workflow that uses a static DDX file processes a particular DDX file that is loaded into the QPAC and used
every time that the process is called by the JobConfig.xml file. To use a static DDX file in your workflow
process, you must browse to the DDX file and load it into the QPAC when you set the action properties for
the workflow. You can use a static DDX if you are using a watched folder, or if you are running the process
using only the QPACs.
