XML Pickup won't create dataset

Post by PrepressUnc »

I'm banging my head against the wall I don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

I have input folder for PDF -> Pitstop Server(Preflight profile added, set output to data with log, create xml report) -> XML Pickup (Create dataset "pitstop", metadata along with asset) -> folder with 2 paths for routing. Right click on one connection, include these jobs, define condition with variables, and no data group was added.

When I check the messages I get "xml was sent to null, it will be deleted when the entry point finishes"

Ive tried adding an assemble job and setting xml pickup to folder to make sure the job and data was being associated with each other but still no dice.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If "XML pickup" does not work, check if the names of the files match.

However, "Data with Log" already creates a dataset, so there is no need to use "XML pickup". Many people think that "Data with Log" creates 2 jobs, but that is not the case, it is a job with a dataset.
