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

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

    The maximum file path length is 255 characters.

  4. Right-click the branch labeled [SAMPLE PCL PATH] and select View File. The PCL file is displayed. Do this to view the file at any time during Process Format configuration.
  5. Right-click the branch labeled [PROCESS PATH] and click Edit. 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 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. FTP does have the advantage of providing security, since there is no way for the user to get at the files through the operating system.

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