FTSpooler Setup


Named Pipes

This option allows the user to pipe data from their application to a queue, provided the application is able to directly use a pipe. FTSpooler generates a pipe called \\ServerName\pipe\QueueName (where ServerName is replaced with "." (dot) if writing from an application on the FormTrap server to the queue on the same machine).

To configure the named pipes options:

  • Tick the Enable at start-up checkbox to enable pipes at FTSpooler start-up.

    You need to Stop and Start as below for this to take effect.

  • Enter the Pipe prefix.
  • Press Save

Start or Stop and Start the service and check Current state is Ready

If you have other applications using pipes, you can prevent conflict by using more of the prefix to uniquely identify FormTrap pipes. In this case, consider a prefix of "\\.\pipe\ft-" to identify FormTrap pipes (ft- can be whatever you require). The final pipe name might be "\\.\pipe\ft-invoices".
