Rendering and distributing documents

Once available in the Document Store, raw documents can be rendered to a document in PDF or Excel format and distributed to the destinations. Rendering and distributing of documents is handled by the Document Rendering and Distribution (ttrpi3210m000) session.

This session tracks the status and sequence of each document. Based on a document’s status, it is rendered—into formats such as PDF or Excel—or merged with overlays and attachments before being distributed to one or more destinations. Document rendering and distribution can be handled across multiple servers (bshells) to optimize performance.

The session also ensures that a main document and its subdocuments are printed together, without any other documents being printed in between on the same printer.

This session can run in two different modes:

Run as daemon
Run for a selection of batches or documents

This session typically runs as daemon in an LN job, started by a system administrator. In this mode, the session continuously checks for new documents to render or distribute, with a configurable wait time between each check.

To avoid the job running continuously, you can specify a time-out. Once this time-out is reached, the job will automatically stop.

You can also start the session through the Command Line Interface. See Command Line Interface document rendering and distribution.
