Bentley i-model Composition Server for PDF Help

To Create a Job - Basic Steps

  1. Open Orchestration Framework Administrator and connect the Bentley iCS for PDF Browser to the database (Connections > Connect > Bentley iCS for PDF Browser).
  2. In the Bentley iCS for PDF Browser, right-click the Job Definitions folder and select New.
  3. In the ProjectWise Datasource Selection dialog, select the datasource containing the documents you want to process, and specify a user to log in with.


    If your datasource is not in this list, you need to configure your ProjectWise network on this computer.

    When specifying a user, you can:

    • Select Predefined ProjectWise user, then select a user from the list of predefined users.

      or

    • Select ProjectWise user, then do one of the following:
      • In the User name and Password fields, manually enter a simple ProjectWise user name and password, or manually enter the credentials of a ProjectWise user's associated Windows account (for Windows credentials, the User name syntax would be: Domain\user.name)

        or

      • Click Select by Login, then in the ProjectWise Log In dialog, select an Authentication type and click Login:
        To log in with: Do this:
        a simple user name and password Set Authentication to ProjectWise and enter your User Name and case-sensitive Password.
        the credentials of your associated Windows domain account Set Authentication to Windows Domain and turn on Use Windows Single Sign-On for authentication.

        (Turn off Use Windows Single Sign-On if you need to manually enter the credentials of a different Windows user.)

        the credentials of your associated Bentley IMS account using basic Bentley IMS authentication Set Authentication to Bentley IMS.
        Note: If one of the authentication types listed above does not show up in the Log In dialog, it means that the authentication type is not enabled or configured in this datasource and you cannot log in with the related type of credentials.
    Note: In order to log in, the specified user must have non-expiring credentials (user setting General > Credential expiration policy set to No expiration). In order to run the job, the computer you are working from must be included in the selected server's Trusted Server list.

    After logging in, the Job Builder dialog opens a blank job definition form for you to configure.

  4. On the Input Files tab, add the documents, folders, and/or saved searches you want this job to process.

    See Defining the Input Set .

  5. On the Rendition Settings tab, specify if and how renditions are to be created from the documents in the input set.

    See Configuring a Job's Rendition Settings.

  6. On the Distribution Settings tab, specify how renditions and/or source files are to be distributed.

    See Configuring a Job's Distribution Settings.

  7. (Optional) On the AutoStart tab, configure whether you want this job to automatically start and run at a specified interval. See Running Jobs Automatically Using Auto Start.
  8. Click OK on the Job Builder dialog.
  9. In the Save As dialog, enter a name for the job and click Save.
