There is not. You have to place the output in a temporary file and then load that: var response = new ByteArray( "it is a ByteArray when coming in as an HTTP response"); var tempPath = job.createPathWithName( "response.xml"); File.writeByteArray( tempPath, response); var xml = ne...

For longer and more complex commands it is recommended to use a .bat file. Place the command in a .bat file and in "Command or path" point to that file. In order to get the JSON output into a file you must specify an output file and the path to the output file has to come from Switch as a ...

I do not think you have to script it. Create a JSON file with the app "Make JSON" and post that with the "HTTP request" element. The attached file is [Job.Path] and the two headers go into the "Headers" property of course. When you attach the return JSON as a dataset yo...

You are missing some insights in the fundamentals of Switch scripting and especially the part about how to create temporary files and send those to the outgoing connection. Have a look at https://github.com/EnfocusSW/HotFolderMonitor . At the end of that sample script you will see how to do that. An...

Erik's reply is spot on.

The only thing I want to contribute here is to point out that "XMP inject" is a somewhat misleading name. Yes, it can inject an entirely new XMP into a PDF, but it can also just update the XMP: it is a choice on the "Action" property of the element.

It is the case, you do use a callback function! The third parameter of db.run, starting at function(err) { up until the closing curly bracket before ); is a callback function. If this is not clear have a look at the webinar or read about the differences between using callbacks and promises. And also...

It is definitely not a case of Switch blocking anything! This sounds a lot like the use of a callback versus a promise that is awaited. https://forum.enfocus.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=3835&p=12034&hilit=use+promises#p12034 And if you are interested in watching the webinar Laurent and I ga...

I did not think of a user deleting a file behind your back because then indeed you will have an id in global data, but not in getJobs(). I tested it with the code from the documentation. The only thing I did was to reduce the timer interval to 5 seconds and the time-out period to 30 seconds and I ad...

If you use $infile you get the name without the prefix.

You should not separate the log from the AI file, I just had not thought of the fact that the AI configurator has a "Data with Log" output. That is of course better. Your solution is perfectly fine.

Have a look at what the variable [Job.NestedName] can do for you. Perhaps you can get hold of that particular filename by using a certain "Action-Index". If you can, store it in private data and then add two other pieces of private data, one "Before - _C_" of that first private d...

Have a look at what the variable [Job.NestedName] can do for you in a condition with variables so you can separate the job folders with a file containing _Lex_ inside and the ones without. [Job.NestedName] returns all the filenames in the job folder so you can check whether there is a filename that ...

Using the app Filetypes Counter is the correct approach: it has a property "Subfolder levels". The default is "All", but it has the option "Root level only". There is even a "Custom" option that allows you to specify from what level to what level you want to c...

You have 2 outgoing connections, one for Data (Success and Error) and one for Log (Success and Error). Make sure that both the Success and Error connections go to the same output connection (if the Error one is missing the job ends up in Problem jobs, you do not want that). The Data folder will have...

There are two address validation tools for which there is a configurator in Switch: Accuzip and Firstlogic. Filter the flow elements with the keyword "mail" and you will find them. Right-click on the configurators in the Flow Elements pane and open the documentation. There you will find mo...
