Infoprint XT provides a transform begin application exit, aioxlxbe. Infoprint XT calls this application exit before it begins to read the Xerox input data stream. Use the transform begin application exit to:

• Do initialization work before the transform process.
• Log the transform start time.
• Prevent the transform from running under certain conditions.

This application exit is useful for restricting jobs from running at the same time.

Infoprint XT passes these options to the application exit:

-e arguments

Specifies any application exit arguments that the -e transform directive specified. For more information, see Transform directives and syntax.

-j jobname-jobID-n

The -j command option passes the job identifier to the application exit. Infoprint XT automatically derives the jobname and jobID values, and assigns a unique sequence number, n. If Infoprint XT is unable to derive the job name and job ID, it passes UNKNOWN-UNKNOWN-n as the job identifier.

-p passthru_values

Specifies the same values that the -p option for the job specifies, if it is present. See Using the pdxtx2afp command to process jobs.

-q dest

Specifies the destination for the job.

-x transform_options

Specifies all the conversion parameters that Infoprint XT uses when it converts the Xerox job to AFP. The set of conversion parameters can contain more than one occurrence of a specific parameter. In this case, Infoprint XT uses the value for the last occurrence of the parameter.

-w directory

Specifies the name of the Infoprint XT working directory. Typically, this is /var/pdxt.
