[barwapk]

Hello,

im trying to make POST with JMF file to Core server. Im getting error 500.

It works when Im testing by Alces, but I can connect only on PC that Core is intsalled, when i try on a different PC connected by LAN I get connection error in Alces.

Error when trying to connect by poweshell, the same with curl command by linux.

You should be able to use ALCES to submit from a remote computer. The FFCore SDK needs to be installed on the remote computer. The install.bat should be edited so that Core Exchange is not used.

The last lines in the install.bat should look as follows (the second line is commented out to avoid use of Core Exchange):

rem Importing workflows...
rem "%FF_CORE_HOME%\CoreExchange.exe" /i "%cd%\Resources\Simple Workflow.ffc" /o

OK, but what about posting files by powershell or ssh? For example when I type in powershell:

Invoke-WebRequest "http://192.168.1.198:7751" -Method Post -ContentType "text/xml" -InFile "C:\FreeFlow Core v5_1_0_3 SDK\JMF Samples\02 - Job Submission\01.1 - SubmitQueueEntry.jmf"

I get error 500 as I pasted in preview post.

When I go to site http://192.168.1.198:7751/

I see this:

Try changing the Content-Type to:

application/vnd.cip4-jmf+xml

I thought I was using this option, It is working now, Thanks for help.

One more thing, I have installed SDK on remote computer without disabling Core Exchange, how can I uninstall it?

[DavidU54339-XRX]

Core Exchange should not be installed. The SDK Install.bat uses (or attempts to use) Core Exchange to the FFCore Workflow. You can look to see if the application (under Xerox) is installed -- it should not be.

It is not installed, but Alces doesnt work:

What most likely has happened is the return of printer information took too long. If you check "OK" you should see the below options of "send file" and "submitqueueentry". If you use "submitQueueEntry", ALCES should work.

OK, I will check it later. One more question, is it possible now to pass aditional variables (Custom MAX Fields) by JMF subbmition as in MAX/hotfolder?
