Select the AFP file that will be used to configure the AFP COLD Process Format.

  1. Expand the new Process Format by selecting the + node to the left of the Process Format name.
  2. Double-click on the branch labeled [SAMPLE AFP PATH] or select the branch labeled [SAMPLE AFP PATH] and select Edit from the right-click menu. The Open dialog box is displayed.
  3. Navigate to the AFP file you wish to use to configure the Process Format and select Open. The file path is displayed next to [SAMPLE AFP PATH].
    Note:

    The maximum file path length is 255 characters.

  4. Right-click the branch labeled [SAMPLE AFP PATH] and select View File. The AFP file is displayed. Do this to view the file at any time during Process Format configuration.
    Note:

    AFP files may contain embedded or external resources, such as font information, necessary for the processing or displaying of the documents. These external resources are stored as separate .psg files stored in the processing directory. During processing, any external resource files must be in the same directory as the AFP file for proper viewing and processing.

  5. Right-click the branch labeled [PROCESS PATH]. The Process Settings dialog box is displayed.

    Alternatively, double-click on the branch labeled [PROCESS PATH] to obtain the Process Settings dialog box.

  6. Enter the appropriate value for each option necessary to your AFP COLD Process Format. All options are explained in the tables below. The following options are mandatory:
    • Processing | Default Directory

    • Processing | Default File Name

    • Processing | Disk Group

    • Options |Run Process check box

      Note:

      It is important to note that before processing files in OnBase, the files must be accessible from the workstation. The options of using a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or a socket connection to download the necessary files are available for some processors. FTP is a protocol used to transfer files over a network. An FTP client can request a file from the server, or can place a file on the server. FTP includes functions to log onto the network, list directories, and copy files. FTP is not practical for retrieving large reports, because the whole file will be retrieved temporarily to the Client workstation.

  7. When all options are set satisfactorily, click Save to save your selections and exit the dialog box.
