Using the Archive


FTSpooler keeps all the job processing and delivery information in one job archive, and provides different views, i.e. All, Delivered, Errors, Data, Replication, Formatting, and Working.

Archive shows three panels: searching and filtering, main panel and detail panels.

In the main panel, FTSpooler shows the following for each job:

  • Date/ Time - of submission
  • Queue - the queue the data was processed in
  • Document type - the document type of the selected data record
  • Name - the associated file entry name
  • Value - the value of the associated file entry

Name and Value repeat for different jobs, showing all of the Associated File names in that file (last to first down the page, including duplicates).

Between submission and delivery of the formatted document may be several steps such as input filtering, identification and routing and/or splitting, repagination and print formatting.

Each step is shown in the detail panel located at the bottom effectively showing the history of each job in most recent (top) to oldest (bottom) order.

  • Process Name - shows the name of the process used to modify or format the document. Some processes show additional information after a colon sign ":". For instance, the print-formatting process "formtrap" is followed with the name of the form; delivery engine "smtp", is followed with the document filter name.
  • Document Type - the file type that is produced by the process. "txt" is raw data, "pcl" or "pclxl" or "ps" are formatted and print ready documents.
  • Status - job status
  • To - form(s) used in the processing the document
  • Error Description - errors in the formatting process
