The Services tab

All available Services are listed on this tab. Services are tasks that can be performed by all Document Processors running in ITP/Server. Services are based on Scripts. These Scripts are written in the ITP Script Language. A full description of this language is available in the ITP/Server Reference Manual. Scripts need to be compiled and the Document Processors restarted to take effect.

Buttons

Add Service button

Adds a Service. You will be asked for a name for the new Service. A script with the same name is automatically generated and the ITP Script Editor is opened. The Script Manual, which contains a full description of the ITP Script Language, is available from the ITP/Server program group in the Windows Start menu.

Remove Service button

Removes the selected Service. The related script is not deleted and is still located in the Script Sub-directory.

Edit script button

Opens the ITP/Script Editor with the script of the selected Service.

Compile scripts button

Compiles all scripts. After a compile the Compile Log is shown informing you of the compile result.

Note

All Document Processors must be restarted for a script to take effect. The Save&Apply button will do this; use it after you have compiled the scripts.

Note

Failing to compile the scripts will result in the error: "The device does not recognize the command" when ITP/Server or a Document Processor is (re)started.

Use Libraries

The checkbox Use Libraries is present for backward compatibility reasons. The next major release of ITP/Server will no longer use the script folders System and System Library. The systems scripts are replaced by pre-compiled scripts (libraries). Customization done in these folders (changed or added scripts) will be ignored, and should be implemented using exit points before upgrading. By checking the checkbox Use Libraries, ITP/Server will use built-in functionality. This allows you to test whether migration of customizations succeeded.

In new installations, this option is turned on by default.
