Jobs

Jobs execute defined Tasks in the sequence specified. A Task is a defined Tool with starting Origin(s) as arguments to the Tool.

Tasks

The Add button for Tasks displays a list of Tools that have been created previously. The list of Tools is updated each time the button is clicked.

Task Origins

Select the publisher and/or subscriber accordingly by clicking the "..." button.

The Add button uses whatever is currently selected in the Browser. That means combinations can be assembled that do not necessarily make sense or will execute correctly.

 

Some tasks, such as the Renamer, can use the Origins of a previous task. When previous Origins are available a "From: [name]" selection is added as the first entry in the combobox. That entry is the most recent task capable of providing Origins prior to the current task. A series of these tasks may be defined to perform complex operations.

Generate

The Generate button creates a command line to execute the currently-selected job. using the current Publisher, Subscriber, Hint Keys and Hint Tracking as arguments, if appropriate and available. If not available those arguments will be missing from the generated command. Edit and copy (Ctrl-C) as desired, or select the Shortcut button to create a desktop shortcut.

 

Note:

Depending on your choices additional parameters may be required for the command line to run correctly. In particular, if "Any publisher" or "Any subscriber" has been selected for the job then -p and/or -s parameters will needed.
