Send a Local File to PLOSSYS netdome¶

Hint - built-in script

The following steps are an example of how to send a local file to PLOSSYS netdome. There is also the print-docs built-in script available which outputs a local file via PLOSSYS netdome, refer to Call SEAL OP-CLI Built-In Scripts.

With the following steps, you send a local file to PLOSSYS netdome via SEAL Operator:

Create a document (named p4_docfor example):

opcli document create p4_doc --service-id operator-fileupload

The document is created and information about the document (among others, its document ID id) is output to STDOUT:

{
  "name": "p4_doc",
  "type": "document",
  "metadata": {
    "lastModified": 1583504006991
  },
  "id": "1bb20a95-f81a-4029-8c1a-5168b9572bdc",
  ...
}

Upload the local file, here C:\Users\Demo\test.pdf, to the document created above:

opcli document upload-file <id> C:\Users\Demo\test.pdf --service-id operator-fileupload

Create a task (named print-to-p4 for example) for the operator-p4 connector:
```
opcli task create print-to-p4 --service-id operator-p4
```
The task is created and information about the task (among others, its task ID tid) is output to STDOUT:
```
{
  "name": "print-to-p4",
  "tid": "423e242d-d9fc-4556-8be9-3c7c71ec39fe",
  ...
}
```

Specify the output settings as metadata, for example in a file, here metadata.json:

opcli task replace-meta --file C:\Users\Demo\metadata.json <tid> --service-id operator-p4

Example - metadata in a file

{
  "Printer": "test_printer",
  "Duplex": "undefined",
  "Quality": "undefined",
  "Color": "undefined",
  "Format": "undefined",
  "PLS_FOLD_TYPE": "undefined",
  "PLS_PUNCH_TYPE": "undefined",
  "PLS_SORT_TYPE": "undefined",
  "PLS_STAPLE_TYPE": "undefined",
  "PLS_SCALE_TYPE": "undefined",
}

Add a task item to the task created above and refer the document created above:
```
opcli task-item create --href <id> <tid> --service-id operator-p4
```

Start the task:

opcli task command --start <tid> --service-id operator-p4
