Barcode variable problem $FFwfJob.documentGroupCount$ in sewing workflow

[DavidU54339-XRX]

The MAX Order ID is setup for a Hotfolder. To have the two jobs go down different paths, one can have them named differently and use the Route node/Job Characteristics look for different job names to go down different branches. see below

In which node can I setup this? And after doing so, how can I handle these two files in separate lines?

[DavidU54339-XRX]

One can use the MAX Order ID parameter to setup a Job Group.

[T_Winkler]

I am coming from the MAX input and I just have one row in the MAX file, otherwise the generator of the input CSV has to be reprogrammed for this special issue.

[DavidU54339-XRX]

One can use the "Submit All Documents as a Job Group" option. Submit two files - can be the same, can be the same with different names.

[T_Winkler]

So is there a possibility to send a file twice into the workflow without using the split function?

[DavidU54339-XRX]

We don't support $FFwfJob.documentGroupCount$ as a FFCore variable that can be changed via the External node.

[T_Winkler]

I don´t think so, because the two impositions has to be combined on one printsheet. Is there a possibilty to reset the special value via an external script?

[DavidU54339-XRX]

Could you split your WF into two WFs using a Save node (at the end of the 1st half of the WF) that feeds a Hotfolder (using the 2nd half of the original WF)? The 2nd job via the HF will reset the FFCore variable values.

In my case the variable $FFwfDoc.documentSequenceNumber$ is not the clue. This variable would work, if I can access the highest number of sequence directly.

Otherwise the variable counters in the barcode from 1 up to n, but I need the information of "n" fixed in the barcode.
