In that thread it is related to scripting while your case is related to database connections, but the limitation is valid for both.

Re: Submit point script expression question
You can do interesting things with script expressions in submit points. It allows you to get information from outside of Switch: - Request things via a HTTP API For example, list all the presets of a RIP and show them to the user. Then that preset can be used when sending the job to that RIP. - Read...

Re: Submit point script expression question
The script expressions for submit points default values are all executed on the Switch Server between the moment you drop a file on the submit point and the moment you see the form to fill in the metadata in the webclient. (This is the reason it can take a while for the form to show up if you have l...

How many slots are not used and how do you check this? Via the progress pane?

Re: Set Private Data to SQL result
How are you storing the result in private data? Personally, I would create a database Switch variable to get the result of your SQL query and store it in private data via the private data property in a folder in Switch. If something goes wrong this way, then I would expect errors in the messages. Do...

Re: Switch 2018 update 2 and double unique name prefixes
I think you will have to get rid of the prefix using the Rename Job tool until Switch 2018, update 3 is released which fixes this.

Re: Pushing errors to Error out
Your code looks like it will work (assuming of course you have set the outgoing connection to be traffic light). Personally, I would add a line to log your exception in the Switch messages. try { //problem code in its entirety even if it is several lines long; } catch (e) { job.log(3, e); job.sendTo...

Re: Metadata within HTML from switch
You can just put in Switch variables like [Metadata.Text:Path="/field-list/field[tag= 'Job_Number']/value",Dataset="Submit",Model="XML"] in the html template files, Switch will replace it with the value behind the variable. This way you can build the path in the html te...

Re: Switch 2018 u2 update WARNING!!!!!!!
This looks very similar to a similar issue when upgrading PitStop Server. Is it possible that you also upgraded PitStop Server from 2017 (update) to version 2018?

Re: execute command problem
You are using redirection in your command (the < and the > in the command). These are features of the bash shell in Terminal. The execute command tool doesn't use the bash shell, instead it uses direct OS commands. Therefore redirection (and piping) doesn't work. To get them to work you will have to...

Can you share your action list? Then we can see what was wrong with it so you can learn.

Re: PitStop not selecing RGB elements
I checked your file and I think Terkelsen is correct. The "500g" objects are tagged with sRGB in the fill. They have no stroke. If I setup the "Select by icc tag subtype" to report ICC tagged RGB in the fill and disable the reporting of ICC tagged RGB in the stroke, then it finds...

I think he is talking about the security settings which you can add to a PDF in Acrobat, specifically the "Allow Printing" one. If there is an Acrobat action for it as you say, then you should be able to automate it using this plugin: https://www.evermap.com/autobatch.asp It will allow you...

Re: Flow to extract file location when submitted
In the old legacy client the Origin variable gave the info you are looking for. The new webclient doesn't give this info. The reason is that webbrowsers (Firefox, chrome, safari, IE, ...) don't give this information to websites such as the webclient. Since the webclient can't see this information he...
