Export Fax File

This Fax tool exports Interaction Fax files to one of several common image file formats. Supported formats include:

• TIFF (using either Group 3 or Group 4 fax compression)

• DCX (the multi-page version of PCX)

IMPORTANT - Once the file is exported, it is the responsibility of the handler writer to delete the file. Exported files are not automatically cleaned up when the handler finishes. Also, care should be taken when emailing the file to always use the email tool's feature to delete the file after sending, instead of deleting the file yourself.

Inputs

Fax ID

ID of the fax to be exported.

Export File Type

Integer representing the desired export file type as follows:

 0 - TIFF, Group 3 compression

 1 - TIFF, Group 4 compression

 2 - DCX

Path and filename to create

Specify a path and file name. If you specify only a file name, the default path is the value in the Work Directory server parameter (set in Interaction Administrator. If you want to use a path other than the default path, use a fully qualified UNC path. You may also enter a server or system parameter using the following syntax: ${parameter_name}.

Caution: If you specify a file not on the local server, you may experience a noticeable delay if that server or named file is not available.

Outputs

Export File Pathname

String containing the path and filename the fax was exported to.

Exit Paths

Success

This step takes the Success exit path if the fax is successfully exported.

Failure

This step takes the Failure exit path if the export file cannot be created due to an invalid FaxId or invalid export file name.
