When you select "System", the primary server, the License Server, the URLs of the Message Service and Master Data Service, the file locations and the user-defined folders in the job folder (if any) display.
"Primary Server" box
Only the computer name of the master server is entered in "Primary Server" for your information.
The computer name of the license server is entered in "License Server". You can edit the name directly in this box.
Any change not yet saved is highlighted by a green circle. A License Server that is not available or cannot be accessed (possibly because the name was typed incorrectly) is highlighted by a red cross as a warning. The symbol disappears after saving.
Caution: All necessary license options must be available on the license server.
By default, the license server specified during installation is shown. If you change this later, you must make sure that the new license server makes the required licenses available. This is not checked at this point.
"Message Service" box
The (URL) address of the "Message Service" is shown for your information only. The Message Service is responsible for internal transmission of messages in the Prinect workflow.
"Master Data Service (MDS)" box
The (URL) address of the "Master Data Service" is shown for your information only. The Master Data Service provides system-wide master data such as user and customer information, printing materials, ICC profiles, etc. and makes this data available to all PCs logged in to Prinect Production.
The paths to the resources and templates are shown in the input boxes. By default, these are links, which are set up to the resources and templates supplied with the system during installation and are made up of the computer name of the server, the configuration directory (default: "PTConfig") and "SysConfig\Resources\...".
You can edit the path directly by typing into the box or set the path using the "Browse" function. If non-existent paths are entered, a red cross appears alongside the box as a warning symbol. No actual check is made, to find out whether the correct resources and templates are available in the specified path.
Caution: Alter paths only directly after installation!
As a rule, you should alter the paths immediately after installation only, for example if the ICC profiles used in the workflow are already stored in a folder other than the one specified in the Prinect system and if you want to continue using this folder. Alterations to resource paths can, under certain circumstances, lead to problems with existing jobs that, for example, try to access profiles that no longer exist after the path was altered.
As an alternative to altering the access path you can also add your own color tables and profiles to the pre-installed resources by using the relevant import functions in the "Resources" tab.
Changes to the paths will only be applied after clicking "Save".
With Prinect Production, new jobs can be created automatically based on an existing job by filing PDF files to a special hotfolder. Administration of these special "hotfolder jobs" is done centrally in the "Hotfolder" section. See Hotfolder. The initial job must be prepared accordingly for this. One item is that it uses a Qualify sequence in which "Hotfolder" is enabled and set up appropriately. See "Hotfolder" option. In this connection, you can set up hotfolders specifically for each job as subfolders in each job folder (in "PTJobs" of the Prinect server) or centrally in an "External Hotfolders Location".
For the latter, you select the "External Hotfolders Location" with "Browse" (you can also create a new folder).
"User-defined Folder in Job Folder" section
Prinect Production sets up a separate job folder for each job. In this section, you can define a sub-folder structure for these job folders within the job folders. This folder structure you specified will then be used for every new job.
The "JobName" entry is set by default and indicates that the main job folder is given the name of the print job. Click the "Add Job Folder..." button to create a new sub-folder. You can delete separate folders with "Delete".
