A job home is a volume used by the system to store Prinergy jobs on qualified servers. For example, AraxiVolume is the default job volume on a Prinergy primary or secondary server.
A job folder is a folder on a Prinergy server that contains all the system files for a job. In addition, a job folder may contain any input files from your customer and any user-defined subfolders. Job folders are stored in a central directory on a primary, secondary, or tertiary server.
All jobs created on a Prinergy system are located in a Jobs folder that resides on a primary, secondary, or tertiary server. When locating a Prinergy job from a Mac OS workstation, the standard navigational path would be: Jobs on server J drive > Job Name
When you create a job using Prinergy Workflow client software, you specify a home server and a home volume for that job. Prinergy then creates a main job folder that contains a series of subfolders.
The following describes the subfolders created as part of a Prinergy job.
Important: The UserDefinedFolders is the only folder that the user is allowed to access and add, delete, and modify its content. Users should not access any other folders, or else, the database will loose track of the job items.
Folder Name | Description |
|---|---|
Control | Stores files that control job processing, such as job template files and APA files. |
DigitalPrint | Stores files waiting for the digital print queue. Files are deleted when they enter the digital print queue. |
Fonts | Stores font files converted using Per-Job Font Converter. |
HotFolders | Stores hot folders that are associated with the job. |
System | Stores Prinergy-generated files related to the job—or required for—refining, preflighting, and importing layouts. |
UserDefinedFolders | Stores folders that Prinergy automatically creates when a new job is created. The folders are generally used to store input files but you can store any job-related files in these folders—for example, folders that you create or custom folders that you set up in Prinergy Administrator. |
VPS-Artworks (Layouts) | Stores .VPS artwork PDF proofs or layout proofs that Prinergy creates. |
WebDownloads | Stores files designated for download by Kodak InSite users—for example, font files or an ICC profile. |
WebNotes | Stores Job Notes generated in InSite |
WebUploads | Stores files that have been uploaded by InSite users—for example, software files or graphics files for a job. |
Important: Do not modify the Prinergy system files. If these are modified, Prinergy may not be able to reference your job and its components.
