Re: Crystal Reports

It would seem that there are several API's available for Crystal Reports including a REST API. That is usually a good choice but often involves some scripting. There is also a command line tool: https://www.rklesolutions.com/blog/using-crystal-reports-to-generate-reports-from-a-command-line Command ...

Re: Sort Job PDFs into smaller zips less than 256 MB

Do the ZIP files have to be smaller than 256MB or do you want to zip a group of files that is smaller than 256 MB? I guess it is the first case. That is hard without scripting because you cannot predict how big the result will be. Do you have to collect 350MB worth of data or can you collect 400MB? ...

Re: External File Copy using Javascript

It is good practice to make sure the separators are correct for your operating system: var sourceFile = File.toNativeSeparators("//SPVC02/etc."); This being said, why use a script? By the looks of it, what you are doing is that an incoming job triggers the copying of a file from one locati...

Re: search and replace with rtf document

What does the list look like? Is it a flat list of numbers? Is it a table with old number - new number? How is that list available? Is it in an XML file? Is it in a database? Is it written on a piece of paper? EAN is a type of barcode. Is that what you are talking about? I am not certain because EAN...

Re: search and replace with rtf document

You will have to be more specific. The title of your post says "search and replace with rtf document" but in the text you refer to EAN codes and to PDF file names. It is not clear to me if you want to change EAN codes or change PDF file names, or is it both? And you still have 99 remaining...

Re: Log jobs without Switch Client

You can activate logging to a CSV file in the Switch Preferences. Perhaps that is good enough for you. If not, there are (of course :D) a couple of apps that do logging. There is one that logs to Google Sheets for example. The apps offer more flexibility of course.

Re: Flow continuously generate errors

If Portals proves to pose problems then please report them to the app developer. Let me suggest an alternative: Switch2Switch ( https://www.enfocus.com/en/appstore/product/switch2switch ) Although it was made with a job transfer from one Switch installation to another one in mind it can also be used...

Re: Numbering files after pdf split

You can also add the leading zeroes with the "Rename job" element. Use "Search and replace" in this way: Search: (\d+)(.*) Replace: 00\1\2 This means makes two groups, the first one with one or more digits at the beginning and then the rest. Replace this with 2 zeroes followed by...

HP Indigo issued a support bulletin (CN-2353) on December 17th 2019 for customers using Switch in combination with HP SmartStream Designer. The bulletin describes that the SmartStream Designer configurators for Switch use the Adobe ExtendScript toolkit. This toolkit is a 32-bit application and is no...

Re: Sending a print a job periodicallly

Oh and you may want to define the "Day-of-week window" property of the flow itself so you can avoid the files being sent on weekends for example.

Re: Sending a print a job periodicallly

"Dummy job clock" is not suited for the described use case because it starts injecting every time you start the flow. You have to use the regular "Inject job" element and configure it like this. There is NO input folder. On the OUTGOING connection you set "Trigger" to &...

Re: "Assemble job" doesn't compose job from "Ungroup job"

The "Scheme" - "Ungrouped job" is OK but you have to change the "Number of files" property from "Automatic" to a value because the number of files changes. Take care as well that the private data is not "ungroup" but "Ungroup" (unless you c...
