Creating a repeat job in Prinect Integration Manager with a MIS (Prinect Business Manager)

The repeat job is generated by the MIS (Prinect Business Manager) and imported into the Prinect Inte­gration Manager. The repeat job has already been produced and the machine presettings have been saved. The JDF PPF workflow was configured so that the job starts automatically in the Prinect Inte­gration Manager.
