A document server is provided for processing a distribution job in a document processing system. The document processing system includes a document manager, communicating with first and second virtual services, for coordinating the storing or processing of first and second copies of an image data set at the first and second virtual services, respectively. The document processing system further includes a distribution agent, communicating with the document manager, for receiving a first job ticket, including attributes for controlling the storing or processing of the first copy of the image data set at the first virtual service and a second job ticket for controlling the storing or processing of the second copy of the image data set at the second virtual service. In practice, the distribution agent transmits the first job ticket to the document manager at a first time so that the document manager routes the first copy of the image data set and the first job ticket to the first virtual service, and the distribution agent transmits the second job ticket to the document manager at a second time so that the document manager routes the second copy of the image data set and second job ticket to the second virtual service. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a server for processing a distribution job in a document processing system, the distribution job including an image data set as well as a first job ticket and a second job ticket.
The first and second job tickets include first and second sets of attributes, respectively, describing a manner in which first and second copies of the image data set are to be stored in or processed by the document processing system.
The document processing system includes a first virtual service for storing or processing the first copy of the image data set in accordance with the first attribute set and a second virtual service for storing or processing a second copy of the image data set in accordance with the second attribute set.
The server includes: a document manager, communicating with said first and second virtual services, for coordinating the storing or processing of the first and second copies of the image data set at said first and second virtual services; a distribution agent, communicating with said document manager, for receiving the first and second job tickets; and said distribution agent transmitting the first job ticket to said document manager at a first time so that said document manager routes the first copy of the image data set and the first job ticket to the first virtual service, and said distribution agent transmitting the second job ticket to said document manager at a second time so that said document manager routes the second copy of the image data set and second job ticket to the second virtual service.
These and other aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following description, the description being used to illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
