Using the Archive

In the main panel, FTSpooler shows the following for each job:
- Status - job status
- Date / Time - of submission
- Queue - the queue the data was processed in
- To - form(s) used in the processing the document
Between submission and delivery of the formatted document may be several steps such as input filtering, identification and routing an/or splitting, repagination and print formatting. Each step is shown in the detail panel located at the right side effectively showing the history of each job in most recent (top) to oldest (bottom) order.
You can select multiple records and save their documents. You can view a document in the appropriate viewer.
- Process Name - shows the name of the process used to modify or format the document. Some processes show additional information after a colon sign ":". For instance, the print-formatting process "formtrap" is followed with the name of the form; delivery engine "smtp", is followed with the document filter name.
- Document Type - the file type that is produced by the process. "txt" is raw data, "pcl" or "pclxl" or "ps" are formatted and print ready documents.
An additional error description panel displays extra information for troubleshooting:
- Process Error Description - a brief description of the process-generated error
- FTSpooler Error Description - a full description of the error in FTSpooler
Process errors show the best information available. The information may not be meaningful or very relevant. There is no additional information available from log files.
