2-8 System GuideJob submissionJDF Workflow Example1. User enables “hot folder” for the queue in the FreeFlow PrintServer.2. FreeFlow Print Server UI creates an associate Hot Folder forthe queue.3. Hot Folder Observer will create an “Error” folder in the HotFolder if a job fails to submit to the FreeFlow Print Server.4. FreeFlow Print Server exports the Hot Folder onto the networkfor job submissions.5. User drops a data file, in a specific location in FreeFlow PrintServer. The submitter drops the associated JDF job ticket intoHot Folder.6. Hot Folder Observer sends the JDF job ticket to JDFGW.7. JDFGW processes the ticket and sends job attributes alongwith data file into the FreeFlow Print Server for printing.a. When the job successfully completes printing, JDFGWwrites the updated JDF ticket.b. If the JDF job ticket is invalid or JDFGW fails to submitjob into the FreeFlow Print Server, JDFGW writes theupdated JDF ticket to “error” sub folder”.JDF Considerations• JDFGW does not support multiple input files. A JDF ticket thatcontains multiple input file specifications (e.g., front cover,back cover, and/or body content) must point to a single file.• A JDF ticket must have “page range” attribute specified in theinput file specification.• If a JDF ticket has multiple file specifications, eachspecification must have “page range” set and be continuous.• Job Submission Status in the updated JDF ticket only reflectsthe status of successful submission into FreeFlow PrintServer.• If a JDF ticket contains attributes with invalid syntaxes orinvalid values, it will be moved to the “error” folder.Troubleshooting JDFThe following logs are important for troubleshooting problems:If there was no response from the agent to the browser, one or allof the following can be done.
