Flow design efficiency
I hope this goes under Flows. I'll try my best to explain my question. When designing flows, does using multiple of the same element change the speed of at which Switch processes flows? Example: I have 4 different job assemblers. I am using 2 recycle bins for them to send errors to be deleted. ( 2re...

Re: Moving big files
Submit filespec does not allow to use network folders. Can you please explain how to run XML files through another submit hierarchy? When i try to use the same submit hierarchy twice, the ai file is moved to problem jobs. Maybe it's simpler just to move the xml and ai to separate folders with my scr...

Re: Moving big files
Changing the minimum file solves the big file problem, but creates another one. I also have xml files coming into that folder, which sometimes are smaller than 1kb. If i set the submit hierachy with minimum file size 1kb, the xml files are not picked up.

Moving big files
I have a submit hierachy point to which a script copies illustrator files. 95% of the time the files are small size 10-30mb. but sometimes we have files that are up to 1gb. In those cases, switch moves the file before it has been fully copied to the folder and causes an error. When moving big files,...

Using postscript with Pitstop Server
Is it possible to convert postscript files to PDF with pitstop server?
My workflow currently is: postscript file is converted to pdf via distiller > Pitstop Server PDF2image.
Can i skip distiller and send postscript directly to Pitstop?

Acrobat closes after each process
I am using acrobat to create a jpeg from a pdf. Each time a pdf arrives, Acrobat is opened, jpeg is made and acrobat is closed. Why is acrobat closed each time? Can it be made to remain open like illustrator for example?

SwitchScriptExecutor.exe
Does each Script element has their own SwitchScriptExecutor.exe ? After testing some scripts i am left with multiple exes still running after stopping the flow. If my script activates for each incoming file separately, does this mean each time a new exe is activated? If this is the case, should i re...

Re: Can't delete top level folders created with Node
I have not tested it but I can only assume that fs.ensureDir creates the directories with a mode that does not allow them to be deleted. fs.ensureDir takes a second parameter that specifies the access mode. Try adding that with the octal value 777 (you may know that from the command chmod) which is...

Re: Send processed files to path in metadata
I can be done without a script, but you can't use S:\\Customer\\order\\Test if it is a mounted volume to the Switch server. You have to use \\MYSERVER\Customer\order\Test as the path in the Archive Hierarchy Files are not on the same volume as the switch installation. They are located on 2 differen...

Re: Send processed files to path in metadata

Send processed files to path in metadata
Is this possible somehow? Or should i look into writing a script for this? 1. A custom script moves files into the submit hierachy folder(ai + xml) xml also has the path to the original location of the file. 2. xml is picked up 3. Switch processes the files. 4. The processed files are moved to the o...
