Xerox FlowPort Support & Software Ratgeber Für Administratoren

Appendix A: FlowPort Security v A-5

Note: This service is not installed during FlowPort installation. You 
must install the “FileWatching.jar” application manually.  See 
“Installing new applications and services” on page 6-10.

The Xerox Network Scanning Directory Watching service provides 
an alternative mechanism for submitting jobs to FlowPort by 
Document Centres which can use SMB instead of ftp, thus allowing 
FlowPort to operate in environments in which the ftp protocol is not 
used. 

The Xerox Network Scanning Directory Watching service watches 
a specified directory, looking for files or folders representing 
FlowPort jobs which have arrived from Xerox Document Centres. 
When FlowPort finds that a FlowPort job exists in the watched Job 
Submission Directory, FlowPort processes the job. The FlowPort 
administrator can enable or disable the Xerox Network Scanning 
Directory Watching service. The directory in which FlowPort's 
Xerox Network Scanning Directory Watching service looks for 
these files and the time interval at which the directory is checked 
for these files is configurable.
