Data Exchange Integration

The comprehensive user interface of SOLfusion allows for workflow processing of external processes and scripts to be managed and monitored through graphical status bars and messaging activity. Each workflow runs independently in a "thread-safe" environment, preventing data conflicts and processing errors.

SOLfusion is capable of controlling external processes and scripts, including exchanging data and job status information. This functionality is part of Solimar's overall production job control for integration with external production processes and Automated Document Factory (ADF) workflows.

As print center environments range in complexity from very simple job management to highly complex, SOLfusion manages multi-stage processing routines requiring integration and data-exchange between multiple systems. Clients find SOLfusion an integral piece to the complex workflow puzzle by providing a central gateway to process automation. Some of the many benefits and functionality SOLfusion provides are:

• Automates indexing and multiple Rubika steps
• Can be configured to run multiple workflows simultaneously
• Runs external processes, such as:
  • .exe files
  • VB, Perl, Java, JScript, and Python scripts
  • Windows® programs and scripts
  • Batch file processes
• Graphical user interface (UI) can be accessed and managed remotely
• Multi-thread pool processing model is "thread-safe"
• Customizable event notification
• Dynamic values generated in a process can pass to other steps
• Output filenames can rename input files of the next step or process
