Installing and Configuring LiveCycle for JBoss

To create and configure a watched folder:
1. Create a directory to be a watched folder on your file system on your server.
2. Log into Administrator.
3. Click Services, click Watched Folder, and then click Watched Folder Management and Status.
4. Click New Watched Folder.
5. In the Watched Folder Name box, type a name for the watched folder. (This does not have to match
the name of the directory you created on the file system in step 1, but it is recommended for tracking
purposes.)
6. In the Watched Folder Path box, type the full path to the directory you created on the file system.
7. In the Include File Pattern(s) box, type the name of the directory you created to contain the input PDF
files (that you will place in the input directory of the watched folder). You can specify more than one file
or name, if you intend to place multiple files and folders in the watched folder.
8. Set the other options according to your requirements. For information on the options available, see
Watched Folder Administration Help.
9. Click OK.
Tip: If you are transferring a large number of source files to the watched folder, it may take several minutes
or longer. It is possible that Watched Folder might scan the watched folder, recognize a new
collection directory, and initiate a workflow process before all of the files in the directory have been
copied over. To avoid this, you must name the collection directory something other than the name
that Watched Folder is scanning for while you copy the directory to the input directory. When all of
the input files have been copied over, you must rename the collection directory to the name specified
in the Watched Folder configuration (the Include File Pattern(s) value).

Creating a JobConfig.xml file

The JobConfig.xml file can be placed at the root of the input directory or inside the collection directory
together with the other collateral files.
If you plan to place multiple jobs (collection directories) in the watched folder for different workflows that
use dynamic DDX files, the JobConfig.xml file must be placed in the individual collection directories that
are submitted to the input directory in the watched folder.
If you plan to submit multiple jobs for the same workflow that uses a static DDX file, you can place the
JobConfig.xml at the root of the input directory. Subsequent incoming jobs use this same JobConfig.xml
file.
To create a JobConfig.xml file, create an XML file similar to the following examples.
