Guidelines for using third party external processes
• For folder-based profiles, the third party software must support
input and output via hot folders.
• In addition to PDFs, External Process nodes accommodate all
supported file types, except RDOs.
• The third party application must accept and send out the same
types of files. For example, PDF in must result in PDF out. The
function of the third party software cannot be to convert PDF to
JPEG.
• The third party application must accept and send out the same
file name. For example, table.PDF in must result in table.PDF
out. The function of the third party software cannot be to
convert table.PDF to door.PDF.
• Users must supply a user name and password when a remote
location is selected during setup.
• The folder-based, input, output, and error locations must
reside on the same remote machine or the same local
machine.
• The CLI profile Script full path, Working directory, and Output
location (if used) must reside on the same remote machine or
on the same local machine.
