Starting the plugin

The following instruction is required if you wish to call intranda AltoConvert from an individual step in the workflow:

    -itm http://localhost:8080/itm/service 
    -s {tifpath}

    -e 
    -gid {processid} 
    -i {stepid} 
    -T {processtitle} 
    -t ALTOCONVERT 
    -n altoconvert

Operation of the plugin

Once the ALTO files have been generated, TaskManager will move them automatically to the target directory specified in the instruction to the TaskClient. Successful completion of the job is recorded in the process log, and the automated workflow step is concluded via API..
