FTSpooler Server Administrator Console - Output Filters
 

The Output filters tab allows you to define filter programs for your FTSpooler system. Output filters operate after the FormTrap process, but before delivery, hence are generally used to amend the delivered outputs.

Click the Add button and the Output filter screen appears.

In the Output filter  screen, enter the output filter name. Output filter names 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 output data file; (%2) - substituted at run-time with the full path to the filtered file; and (%3) - substituted at run-time with the full path to the Associated File that is linked to the FormTrap output. 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.

  • No console window applies to console programs only and prevents appearance of the console window. Note that for non-console applications this option will result in failure of execution of the filter.

  • Error if output file is empty to enforce filtering. With this option checked, empty output from the filter process will record a failure of the processing of the job, with a record generated in the failed jobs archive. Without this option checked the empty output from filter process will be ignored and the input data will be used in further processing.
