Watch Folder and Queue Settings

When completing the Watch Properties screen of the Watch Wizard, you must specify the folder or queue that you want InSight Rendering to watch, and define settings related to watching the folder or queue.

Watch Type = FileSystem Folder

Choose this to watch a file system folder. Ensure that the folder to be watched only contains copies of source materials, because documents are deleted from the watched folder after processing. Specify the following:
  • The folder to be watched.
  • For file system folders, you can watch a shared folder on a local drive, but we recommend that the file system folder resides on a network drive. Do not specify mapped network drives. Use full UNC paths to network drives.
  • The username/password for folder access (if necessary).
  • The name of the destination sub-folder for rendered output (folder resides in same directory as the watch folder).
  • An optional filter to restrict jobs to a specific file name or file extension (for example, *.doc to only process Microsoft Word documents).

Watch Type = Documentum Folder, Open Text Folder, or SharePoint Folder

Choose one of these to watch a folder in a Documentum, Open Text, or SharePoint. For Documentum, to avoid processing errors, ensure that virtual documents in a watch Documentum folder contain content. Specify the following:
  • Select a folder within a repository by clicking the browse button, choosing a repository, and typing the username/password necessary to connect to the repository.
Note: Ensure that you only set one watch per folder or queue.
  • The user/password for DMS access (You do not need to complete this step if you defined a login for the DMS in Domain Manager.
  • The name of the destination sub-folder for rendered output (folder resides in same directory as the watch folder).
  • The name of the work sub-folder. InSight Rendering copies the source files to be rendered from the watch folder and temporarily stores them in the work folder (folder resides in same directory as the watch folder).
  • The name of the error sub-folder where InSight Rendering stores unsuccessful rendering attempts (folder resides in same directory as the watch folder).
  • For Documentum, you can define an optional DQL WHERE clause (excluding the word "where" from your clause) that filters the source documents to be rendered.
Note: For SharePoint watches, rendered output is stored in a folder named Liquent Renditions that is located in the top level of the SharePoint site's folder hierarchy. The sub-folder that you defined in the watch as the destination for rendered output is used for storing a copy of the source document.

Watch Type = Documentum Queue 

Choose this to watch a Documentum queue. Specify the following:

  • Select a Documentum queue within a Docbase by clicking the browse button, choosing a Docbase, and typing the username/password necessary to connect to the Docbase. The default Documentum queue is dm_autorender_win31.
  • The user/password for DMS access (you need not complete this step if you defined a login for the DMS in Domain Manager; see InSight Rendering Domain Manager).
  • An optional DQL WHERE clause (excluding the word "where" from your clause) that filters the source documents to be rendered.
