PLOSSYS Output Engine 6.2.0

New Features

  • Node.js has been updated to 20.17.0.

  • The new environment key ANALYZE_PDF_PAGE_SIZES for seal-convert-dispatcher service specifies if incoming PDF files are to be analyzed to detect the page sizes. The default value is false. For the analyzis of page sizes the new service seal-convert-pdfprae has been added. (PLS-1783)

  • CALLBACK_NOTIFICATIONS_MAX_RETRIES specifies the maximum number of attempts for notification callbacks in the seal-co-notifier service. (PLS-1995)

  • To print files for which there are no built-in converters, PLOSSYS Output Engine can make use of Digital Process Factory (DPF) for the input conversion of these file formats. For this, the new service seal-convert-dpf has been introduced. For more information refer to Use DPF for File Format Conversion. (PLS-2036, PLS-2040)

  • For the default value of the environment key CALLBACK_HOST, the seal-convert-dpf service tries to ascertain the FQDN of the server. Otherwise the local hostname is used as default. (PLS-2155)

Bug-Fixes

  • Virtual router queues using the job.getMaxPage function to output files to different printers depending on page size work with PDF files too. (PLS-1706)

  • An icon for job status added has been added to PLOSSYS Administrator. (PLS-2000)

  • If a job name contains the word error, the job will not automatically set to status error by seal-pjl-checkout service. (PLS-2015)

  • All job-specific messages, especially those concerning callbacks, are listed in the job log in PLOSSYS Administrator. (PLS-2070)

  • The bug has been fixed, where seal-checkin did not save the original page orientation of TIFF files as page metadata in the database. (PLS-2074)

  • A bug in seal-copier service has been fixed that caused printer queues to get stuck and stop printing. (PLS-2076)

  • The Report a problem link in PLOSSYS Administrator has been fixed. (PLS-2086)

  • A bug regarding PDF conversion using Ghostscript in seal-convert-pdf2ps has been fixed. For easier tests, the new environment key COMMAND_OVERWRITE is available to specify which command the service should use for PDF conversion. (PLS-2158)

Known Issues

  • When changing the seal-island-checkout on a Windows client using the Repair option, default values will be written into the registry instead of the changed data. To prevent that issue, uninstall the current client first, then install anew. (PLS-1927)

  • When a key has been entered into Consul with leading or trailing spaces it can override the correct version of the key. (PLS-1985)

  • When updating from PLOSSYS 5 to PLOSSYS Output Engine 6.0.0 or higher under Linux, the directories for the old services seal-plossys-accounting and seal-plossys-message-relay will not be deleted. (PLS-1990)

  • In very rare cases, if error events between streaming services get lost because of network issues and the other involved services do not close their streams, it can cause the job being stuck in the "… still waiting for response from follow up services" stage for a long time. Please cancel the job manually in such a case. (PLS-2050, PLS-2112)
