With job processing, the Spooler has been designed to be setup for the
automatic control of the constant flow of repetitive jobs through the system in a
real time on line environment. This is achieved by the use of Spooler Job
Definitions (SJDs). As you read earlier in the manual, the SJD is the
mechanism by which a repetitive processing instruction can be defined to the
Spooler. Once this definition is setup, it is stored and then re-used whenever the
matching conditions are encountered.

This automatic processing philosophy may not necessarily suit all situations.
For example, in some environments such as service bureaus, much of the work
is not repetitive, and virtually every job can be different. Also, during the
development cycle there is often a requirement to produce a test run of an entire
file. The PARIS Designer system only has an ability to print a single page at a
time from the editor, so the Spooler must be used to do a full ‘live’ test run.

Single Spooler Job Request
In order to accommodate these needs for single job processing, the PARIS
Spooler has an option in the Jobs menu that easily allows single jobs to be
added. This is achieved by bypassing the requirement to create a Spooler Job
Definition, instead a dialogue has been created that creates a single Spooler Job
Request according to the information entered into the dialogue.

This Job Request is then automatically added into the printer queue and
submitted to the engine in the normal fashion. Once the job has been processed
the Job Request disappears.
