IPP4IN accepts the incoming data file and has the following features :
Parameter file is P4IN_XXXX
Incoming file is a PostScript Page from a Mac possibly with a ResFork. File
wait is 10 seconds. ResFork is zapped.
Input file is copied to /p4/data/TIT/PUB/(todaysDate)/(inputfilename)
Input filename is parsed to find :
ALIAS - either OVERRIDE or DEFAULT
This is checked in /p4/pages/TIT/PUB/(aliasname) for
or /p4/pairs/TIT/PUB/PUBDATE/alias/(aliasname) for
or /p4/transmits/TIT/PUB/PUBDATE/(aliasname) for
PUB_DATE, PAGE, EDITION, REGION (opt), GROUP (opt), SPLIT (opt)
Using PUB, PUB_DATE, EDITION, (REGION, GROUP if exists) and DATE, we check
against the Page (or PagePair) PIPELINES to get the relevant processes. These
are written in a Stub FipHdr file in spool/p4dist with the individual stages
and pipeline processes.
If there is no match against the pipelines, the file is moved to the Error
Queue and the fact logged.
Another Stub FipHdr file is written to spool/2balance to copy it to the other
systems. This uses a default group og 'p4balance'.
A Log Token is sent to destination 'NotesLog' to note the file - and if in
error to ask what to do.
Note that CheckPair/Transmit are considered the end of the pipeline and, even
if there is more processes in the pipeline, they are ignored.
A new page is checked against Pages but if not found, is also checked against
PagePairs in case a double page spread is being sent.
In this case, it is assumed to be the left hand page and the righthand is force
to be a Blank or zero-length file.
The optional parameter file is normally P4IN_PAGE.FIP or P4IN_PAIR.FIP or
P4IN_TRANSMIT.FIP
Input switches are :
-i : input q (normally in ~/spool) no default
if the path starts with a '/', it is considered a hard path
-t : Title code - usually 3 letters default: TST
-p : Publication code - usually 3 letters default: TST
-v : version number display and exit
-u : ufb name. Used only for UFB entry points default: none
-PAGE : This is the spooler for incoming pages default: -PAGE
-PAIR : This is the spooler for checking pairs default: -PAGE
-TRANSMIT : This is the spooler for formes to transmit default: -PAGE
-RESEND : This is the spooler for resends default: -PAGE
-w : file wait for files arriving across the network. Set 15secs for NAS
default: 1
-a : archive the raw input file default: no
for -PAGE types only
