We noticed when we import and Generate pages it can be slow and time consuming. Is there a way to Schedule or automate the Generate pages action using workflow or some other way ?
thanks
Hi Ryan,
You won't be able to do it in workflow because it requires a UI session. You could do it with the SDK, but you'd need to also have the LF client installed on whatever box is running your custom SDK code. Even then, when I've used this approach, it will fail sometimes and need manual intervention.
You could also use Import Agent that will ingest on a schedule and generate pages - but the content won't be available until it imports. Not sure if you wanted the content immediately available and generate pages later.
Quick Fields can also do scheduling, but that may be overkill if you're not going to do other page processing, and you'll have to do more setup to make it work. You also have to be diligent in preserving backups of your session files in case they become corrupted - which has happened several times for me.
My strategy is to only generate pages if absolutely necessary because of the enormous disk space it consumes. Only if they need to redact, or use annotations, will I generate pages. Even if I do that, when they've finished using the annotations/redactions, I'll compact it back to a .pdf.
Hope this helps!
