Re: Call function ONE time if I have two incoming files?

Do you not have the metadata module? XML pickup seems like an easier approach.

Re: Call function ONE time if I have two incoming files?

How do get information of the files inside the folder. Ex if I want to get the size in a XML? sense the xml-file is in a folder I can't use this to get the size in var xmlWidth. var theXML = new Document(job.getPath()); var xmlWidth = theXML.evalToString("//PrintWidthCover"); I don't have...

Re: Call function ONE time if I have two incoming files?

I think there's more than a few ways to handle this. Here are a couple of ideas: you could consume the XML as a dataset and attach it to the PDF with a metadata pickup. Then, you could send in the PDF and access the XML as a dataset within scripter. Another option would be to hold and assemble to pu...

Re: Using JS To Add Email Addresses

What does `mgrName` log as? tag='Salesperson/CSA']/value" Perhaps this slash is causing problems. You'll have to do some debugging to see if the dataset is there and why the xpath isn't returning the right thing. Honestly, I wouldn't even do this metadata lookup and selection within the script....

Re: Portals failing after update to 4.0

Finally we took over the maintenance of Portal app :? the appstore is still not up to date for the new repo for the portal support Here is the new link : https://bitbucket.org/sobookhub2/switch-portal. Instead of forking the project entirely, could you make contributions to https://github.com/open-...

Re: Java "Includes" Not Working

Take my comments with a grain of salt because I don't have access to Switch Scripter any longer. 1) You have an extra space before you invoke the .includes method if (jobName.includes ("PORTFL")) { job.setJobState("PORTFL"); } should be if (jobName.includes("PORTFL")) {...

Re: Use headers or separations/parts in a flow?

I get the use case but I think there is value in splitting those into different flows in a single folder. They'll get revisioned differently, can be stopped and started independently, and will produce logs that are easier to understand where issues are occurring. If you do have common stuff (like ha...

Re: Flow Auto Backup

Hey Dave, Try remaking the portals with the latest version of the scripts or the Portals app from the app store. It may be a bit tedious but if you bring in new configurators and configure them manually you can be sure that nothing is corrupt. I bet one problem is that the versions of the Portals sc...

Re: USPS mail processing

Dwight from Apago has done some custom integrations with AccuZIP before. I used to use BCC to automate and clean mail lists using Switch. Probably not a huge help but I found it pretty helpful to preflight databases out of Switch, which can be done with a tool like this https://github.com/shawmut/da...

Re: Insert different logos

I already created the solution using Switch and Pitstop ;) The logos are converted to PDF. The 16 page PDF is injected and the two files are merged with the logo as page 1. An action in Pitstop will select page 1 and scale it to the desired size. The action then cuts page one and paste the content ...

Honestly Pat, what you have in the second example looks correct to me. It's what I've done in scripts before: https://github.com/open-automation/switch-dummy-job-clock/blob/master/src/DummyJobClock.js#L42-L51 The only thing I'd add is set the "createFolder" argument: var logPath = job.crea...

Re: Optical recognition character

Assuming its an image and you need OCR to read the characters -- I don't know of any OCR software currently integrated with Switch -- but maybe someone out there has done it. But there are a lot of cloud OCR services (I know AWS and Google Cloud have one). You could use the HTTP configurator or a sc...

Re: Insert different logos

Sounds like a small variable data job. In my world I would have done this with HP SmartStream or whatever -- built a little spreadsheet with the logo names for each variant and built the file that way.
