In Prinergy, you can copy original jobs and pre-jobs to create new jobs and pre-jobs on your Prinergy system. You can copy a job when you need to perform the following tasks:
- Create a backup of a job. For example, you can copy an original job and make revisions, remakes or test changes on the new copied job, leaving the original job intact.
- Move a job. For example, you can copy a job to another server/share combination on your Prinergy system and delete the original job.
- Retrieve an archived job to a newly created copy of the job. For example, you can archive and purge Job 1, copy Job 1 to create Job 2, and retrieve Job 1 into Job 2.
When you copy a job, all job related data from the original job is copied to the new job. If the original job is online, the job folder contents are copied to the new job. If the original job if offline, you have to use the Archiver to retrieve the job folder contents into the new job.
When you copy a job, it is optional to copy the history log and the job folder of an original job to a new job. If you choose to copy the history log and the job folder, the new job will contain all of the functionality and job attributes of the original job, including: pages, page sets, imposition plans, page assignments, version plans, color libraries, history processing information, miscellaneous files, archives, hot folders, job notes, custom fields, as well as, image and font search paths. For image and font search paths, the paths are copied, but any content residing outside of the job folder is not copied.
You can copy a job using a pre-set copy job process template. After a job has been copied, you can change the job data as necessary. You can only copy one job at a time.
As with any job, a job that is created using the copy job function can be destroyed.
