Output Alias combinations

For each Output Alias in the Designer publication's production job, enter a Generate Output and Message type combination that will be used to generate or update output pathnames in the OPS file.

For example, to output the line below in the OPS file:

<Output> Output2=\\emsgserver\vendors\Vendor_A\OutProfiles\
OutProfile\attach1\1.PDF

Add these values as an Output record:

  • Output Alias – Output2
  • Generate Output – PDF as this is the type of the property
  • Message Type – PDF Attachment 1 as this will place the output PDF file in the Attachment 1 folder

If an OPS file is specified in the EngageOne Generate Command, any filename defined in an output line overrides the generated filename. For example, for an existing OPS file with Output2 having a filename of sample.PDF, this filename is retained in the generated OPS.

If no OPS file is specified, files are named based on the Scheduled Job ID that calls Generate.

Note: If JavaScript is enabled in your web browser, the Generate application associated with the selected vendor is displayed automatically. Otherwise, you need to click the Search icon to trigger the change in the list of Generate applications displayed. Once the vendor has been selected and the list of Generate application is displayed, the Super User can then proceed to create or edit Generate applications similar to a regular user as discussed above.
