Node: Processing Stations

This node contains a list of Processing Stations and groups of Processing Stations.

Details Pane

Column Description
Type

There are two types of nodes:

  • Station - for a Processing Station
  • Group - for a group of Processing Stations
Name The user-defined station name.
Location The network name of the computer where the Processing Station is installed. This name is specified relative to the Server Manager where this Processing Station is registered.
Role

Displays the role of stations:

  • Processing: stations with this role only handle document processing tasks.
  • Preprocessing: stations with this role only handle preprocessing tasks, i.e. converting input files in any of the supported Office formats.
  • Processing and Preprocessing: stations with this role handle both preprocessing and processing tasks.

Note. At least one station has to have the Preprocessing or Processing and Preprocessing role in order to process input files in Office formats. Otherwise, the workflow will display the "No preprocessing stations" warning when started, and files in Office formats will not be processed.

State

The station state:

  • Activated
    The station is connected to the Server Manager and can receive jobs.
  • Activation pending
    The Server Manager sent a connection request to the station but the station has not yet confirmed the request. This may be caused by incompatible settings of the Server Manager and the Processing Station. The station in this state can't receive jobs.
  • Suspended
    The station was stopped manually or on a schedule.
  • Not available
    There is no connection with the station.
  • Disabled
    The station is disabled. This status is retained after you restart the server.
