If a signature fails to be autogenerated, nothing is displayed in Workshop Job Manager. Business Link sends a notification e-mail according to your settings on the Administration Client Configuration tab. You must locate and open the raw JDF stripping file, and use it to manually complete the imposition. When Business Link sees that the resulting imposition matches the original JDF requirements, the job is successfully completed.
Manual completion must be enabled on the Configuration tab before a failure occurs. If it is not enabled, you can still use this procedure to create, resolve, and import a suitable imposition. However, the original MIS signature ID is not retained. Business Link adds a new JDF node for the new Preps signature ID, and Business Link marks the original node and MIS signature ID as aborted.
The following procedure assumes that manual completion is enabled. It describes how to resolve a signature to achieve a green Preps signature icon, which indicates that the original MIS signature ID was retained.
Note: Depending on the situation, you might use a different method to manually complete an imposition.
For example, you might use the Signature Selection dialog box to apply a template signature that is structurally different, such as to accommodate a change in page count. In the Signature List, a yellow icon will then indicate a new template reference. When you import the imposition into the job, Business Link creates a new JDF node for the new Preps signature ID and aborts the original node.
