Deferred Copy Document Plug-in
The Deferred Copy Document plug-in is used to create a copy of a document, a supporting document, or both. These documents can be copied to a file system or a folder inside a File Library. This plug-in only works with the custom Excel workflow.
This plug-in runs in the background. This is the only way in which it differs from the Copy Document plug-in.
To save the file, AppPool users must have permission to the given directory.
This plug-in copies documents (and supporting documents) to one location only. If you provide directory and file parameters, the plug-in will work for the directory only. To copy documents to multiple places, use multiple plug-ins.
