Spooled file actions

Spooled file actions

As part of spooled file processing in InterFormNG2 on the IBM i platform, you may need to delete, hold, or move the input spooled file to notify the end user that the specific spooled file has been successfully processed.

​

You can also change a spooled file attribute, that is used in a condition in the workflow to prevent the same spooled file to be processed again, if someone should hold and release the input spooled file.

A similar workflow component is the change attributes of spooled file workflow component.

The spooled file actions are listed on the Post-process spooled file workflow component.

You can also split input spooled files into multiple output documents.
