Submitting a job to a hot folder
Points to remember when submitting a job to a hot folder:
•Jobs submitted with a job ticket must be placed, with the job ticket, into the Waiting for Job Ticket folder, inside the hot folder.
•RDO files can be submitted to a hot folder via File Manager and Web Services.
•If a JDF ticket does not contain the correct file path for the file that is being processed, the job fails.
•When submitting a Zip file to a workflow with Join task, the files within the Zip file will be joined in the order that they were added to the Zip file.
