Generate a process which generates pdfoutput

Question

Hi
i want to automate generating pdf with output..
until yet i call as a web service OutPutService in my dotnet application
in this application i merge a file.xdp with a file.xml. As there are several record in my file.xml the result is several file.pdf.
until yet it is ok.
But i want to automate this process by create a process in workbench.
i want this process to generatePDFOutput with file.xml and file.xdp in input and i want this process to permit me to count all the pdf file which are generated, the date of creating file and at the end of the process, it should be send an email to user that inform the user of the number of pdf generated and the date of creating.
i am a very beginner and i don't know (even with the quickstart creating process) what to do and how to begin.
i created a process with generatingpdf operation but i don't know how to count the number of pdf generated.
thanks for help

Answer 1

it's ok when i call output service and i set render option generate multi file = true and recordname = name_element and i put <batch> </batch>
in the beginning end end of my xml file it's running.
My problem is that i want to create a process with operation generatepdfOutput and something in this process should count the number of pdf generate and when all is generate it should send a email to a user provide in input.
actually i am far for that because just create a process with generatePdfOutput seems to be impossible!!!!
when i invoke the process and give the parameter i have a probleme with one of them : dataxml which should give the path of the xml file which contain the data.
in my process i define xmldata as a variable document input and i do that in my code :
BLOB inData = new BLOB(); 
String inPutFile = "C:\\creerPdf\\PurchaseOrder.xml"; 
FileStream fs = new FileStream(inPutFile, FileMode.Open);
int longueur = (int)fs.Length;  
Byte[] byteArray = new byte[longueur];fs.Read(byteArray, 0, longueur);
inData.binaryData = byteArray;
BLOB generatePDFOutputMetaDataDoc = new BLOB(); 
BLOB generatePDFOutputResultDoc = new BLOB(); 
OutputResult outResult = new OutputResult();
EssaiOutputService essaiOutput = new EssaiOutputService();essaiOutput.Url +=
"?blob=base64"
;essaiOutput.Credentials =
new System.Net.NetworkCredential("administrator", "password");generatePDFOutputMetaDataDoc = essaiOutput.invoke(
"c:\\creerPdf", inData, "BonCmdeDynamiq.xdp", out outResult, out generatePDFOutputResultDoc);
and it renders this error :
ALC-DSC-127-000: com.adobe.idp.dsc.LongLivedInvocationException: The Long Lived Service EssaiOutput can not be invoked synchronously.
is somoene knowing what it is wrong?
