RE: [Babeldoc-user] JFreeReports stage

[McDonald, B. <Bru...@ba...>]

Michael,

You use the babeldoc journal tool.  This will allow you to view all the "tickets" in the system and to restart the processing of a document from a step.   Each ticket step represents a pipeline stages processing on a document.  Tickets can be forked - this generally occurs when a document is processed into a number of child documents.

The journal allows for reprocessing but it is necessary to "persist" the document at some point prior to the point at which you want to restart processing.  Obviously this is somewhat paradoxical since you don't know precisely where the failure can occur so you will need to decide which processing can be repeatable (transformations, etc, etc) and which is not repeatable (messaging, transactions) and persist the documents accordingly.

The document is simply persisted by setting the pipeline stage configuration:

XXXXX.tracked=true

This will result in the document getting stored in the journal, however that is done according to the implementation.

Now, there is no way to say exactly how this is stored, but the journal factories support a number of methods to support the viewing and querying of documents.

Check it out.

regards,
Bruce.

Subject: [Babeldoc-user] JFreeReports stage


Hi,

Can anybody tell me how to restart processing of a document that was in
a pipeline when an abend occurred in the stage?  I shut down the
babeldoc, fixed the pipeline stage, restarted babeldoc, and now need to
restart processing of the document.  I presume it's still in there
somewhere, but I can't figure out how to restart it.

Also, if there was a fault in the document that caused the fault in the
processing stage, and the document needs to be edited, how is this
performed?  Where does the user go to to find the document, and how is
it re-introduced into the pipeline stage?

Cheers...
