Deploying workflows

  1. Store the workflow file that was created or saved by using the DDU graphical user interface to your local drive.
  2. At the command prompt, type one or more of the following:
    Notes: To add external printers to a workflow, add ‑ip IP to add a single printer, or ‑csv DeviceListPath to add multiple printers before ‑workflow FilePath . External printers override the printers added in the workflow. If you add external printers, then the workflow is deployed to these printers.

    • For unsecured printers

      DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy ‑workflow FilePath

    • For secured printers

      • Basic authentication method using user name, password, or PIN

        DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy ‑workflow FilePath ‑usr UserName ‑pwd Password ‑pin PIN

      • Kerberos authentication method

        DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy ‑workflow FilePath ‑usr UserName ‑pwd Password ‑rlm RealmName ‑rlmType KERBEROS

      • LDAP authentication method

        DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy ‑workflow FilePath ‑usr UserName ‑pwd Password ‑rlmType LDAP ‑rlmSetup RealmSetupName

      • LDAP + GSSAPI authentication method

        DDUAppFolder\bin\ddu ‑deploy ‑workflow FilePath ‑usr UserName ‑pwd Password ‑rlm RealmName ‑rlmType LDAP_GSSAPI ‑rlmSetup RealmSetupName

    where:

    • DDUAppFolder is the location of the DDU folder.
    • FilePath is the location of the workflow file.
    • IP is the IP address of the printer.
    • DeviceListPath is the location of the .csv file that contains the list of IP addresses.
    • UserName is the user name for accessing secured printers.
    • Password is the password for accessing secured printers.
    • PIN is the PIN for accessing secured printers. This option is applicable only to the basic authentication method.
    • RealmName is the Kerberos realm name when using Kerberos or LDAP + GSSAPI authentication method.
    • RealmSetupName is the setup name configured on the printer when using LDAP or LDAP + GSSAPI authentication method.
  3. Check the progress of the deployment in the DDU status window.
    Note: In a workflow, tasks with Disable Task check box selected, are skipped during the execution of workflow.
