Queue Properties

Select the queue to change by highlighting it. Update queue settings in the Properties Bar on the right side of the FormTrap Server Window.

Applications Tab

Applications tab selects applications, either supplied by FormTrap or your own user and/or your user-written programs. This tab DOES NOT produce a modified file for continued FormTrap Server activity and is normally the final delivery for the transaction..

FormTrap application (as at start 2017) include FTLabelPrint and TLS/SSL HTML Emails with PDF attachments, described below.

User applications are for purposes unrelated to FormTrap processing. Applications turn standard batch programs into services run via FormTrap Server.

Application work file and output file names (if used) must be unique to each and every execution (FormTrap Server multi-threads), hence the recommendation is to include the FormTrap-allocated unique file name [db_job_id] as part of any temporary file names used by the application as work and output file names. 


Application Input is the file normally delivered to any of the other delivery tabs, so is one of:

  • the original input file (after input filters) where no formatting occurred, or
  • the .xml file resulting from formatting
