The Input filters tab allows you to define
filter programs in your FTSpooler system. Input filters
modify input data before it is processed by FormTrap and
are available to all queues.
 Click Add button and the Input
filter screen appears. In the Input filter screen,
you should enter an appropriate name for the input
filter as input filter name can NOT
be changed later. The Executable path
refers to the full path and program required. Enter the
path manually or click the Browse button.
Each filter requires at least two parameters: (%1)
- substituted at run-time with the full path to the
input data file; and (%2) - substituted at
run-time with the full path to the filtered file. These
parameters must appear in the Command Line box.
Any parameters specific to the filter process follow the
above.
- No further processing halts processing
after the filter has run. This is commonly used where
FTSpooler is used to run other processes alongside
FormTrap such as FTLabel to drive barcode printers.
- No console window applies to console
programs only and prevents appearance of console
window. Note that for non-console applications this
option results in a failure of the filter.
- Error if output file is empty to enforce
filtering. With this option checked, empty output
from the filter process records a failure of the
filter in the events log and failed jobs archive.
Without this option checked the empty output from
filter process is ignored and pre-filtered data used
in further processing.
