Associate Letter with Post Process

You can associate a letter with a PostProcess while authoring the letter. Some default processes are already provided as part of the LCA.

The LCA is packaged with the following out-of-the-box PostProcess solutions that you can associate with a letter.

  • Default Print Dispatcher (CorrespondenceManagement/WrapperProcess/DefaultPrintDispatcher)

    This process prints the letter and its attachments in Post Script + Simplex mode. The process gets the DefaultPrintURL from the SendToPrinter process.

  • Default Email Dispatcher (CorrespondenceManagement/WrapperProcess/DefaultEmailDispatcher)

    To use this post process, you need to first create a DD and associate the letter with this DD.

    The DD must have a DDE with name DeliveryEmailAddress. The sample data must have the email address of the user to whom the correspondence is to be mailed.

    The other fields of the email are hard-coded in the process to:

    Body
    This is an auto generated email from Correspondence Management. Please do not reply to this email.

    Format
    PDF

    Subject
    Email from Correspondence Management

  • Preference Based Dispatcher (CorrespondenceManagement/WrapperProcess/PreferenceBasedDispatcher)

    To use this post process, you first need to add a property, deliveryPreference, to the agent user through the User Administration tab in CRX.

    If a user associates a letter with this post process, and you set the deliveryPreference property to Print, the Default Print Dispatcher post process is invoked.

    However, if you set the deliveryPreference property to Email, the Default Email Dispatcher post process is invoked.

    Note: The Email and Print values of the deliveryPreference property are case-sensitive.

To associate a letter with one of these post processes

  1. Go to the Letter tab on the Publish instance.

  2. Select the letter that you want to associate.

    Note: You can only select letters in the Complete state.

  3. Choose Custom deliver.

  4. In the Send to process dialog, select the process from the drop-down list and click OK.

You can also associate these processes to a letter while you are authroing the letter

  1. Open the letter editor to create a new letter or update an exiting letter.

  2. In the Post process drop down, select the process and click OK.

  3. Render the letter.

  4. Submit the letter.

As soon as you submit the letter, the associated post process is invoked.

When you associate a custom post process with a letter, the post process needs to be added to dsc.serviceWhiteList. To do this:

  1. Go to http://[server]:[port]/lc/system/console/configMgr

  2. Search for Adobe LiveCycle Client SDK Configuration.

  3. Add the post process to the Service Name list and click Save.

Note: If you do not perform the above steps, the following error is encountered when you submit the letter:

Error in server logs on submit: com.adobe.icc.dbforms.exceptions.ICCException Access denied while attempting to invoke process: [Process Name]. ALC-DSC-213-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.DSCException: No Credential or Context set.
