Re-production Job Manager (.NET)

The Re-production Manager API exposes the following methods on the Services.<VersionNumber>.IReproductionJobManager interface:

• CreateReproductionJobAsync() method - creates a new re-production job. This overloaded method takes a list of document IDs or a mass operation token. See Create a re-production job.
• GetReproductionJobIDsAsync() method - retrieves the IDs for re-production jobs run in a specified workspace. See Retrieve re-production job IDs.
• GetReproductionStatusByReproductionJobIDAsync() method - retrieves the status of a re-production job. See Retrieve the status for a re-production job.

The Re-production Manager API includes multiple classes. The following list highlights some of the key classes:

• ReplaceDocumentWithPlaceholderOptions - defines options for creating a re-production job when using the re-production mode called ReproduceDocumentWithPlaceholder. The options include:
  • Placeholder - specifies the placeholder to use when re-producing documents.

    If a produced document has three pages, the document has three placeholders after re-production, one for each page of the originally produced document. This process preserves Bates numbering and avoid gaps.

  • NativeReproductionOption - specifies whether to produce native documents when re-producing documents.
• ReplacePlaceholderWithDocumentOptions - defines options for creating a re-production job when using the re-production mode called ReplacePlaceholderWithDocument. The options include:
  • Delimiter - specifies the delimiter to use between the original placeholder Bates number and the suffixed page number.
  • NumberOfDigits - specifies the number of digits to use for the suffixed page number.
  • Suffix - specifies the suffix to append to end of new Bates numbers.
  • NativeReproductionOption - specifies whether to produce native documents when running a re-production job.
  • BurnRedactions - specifies whether to burn redactions on re-produced images. When using this option, a valid markup set must exist.
  • MarkupSet - specifies the markup set to use when burning redactions on re-produced documents.
• ReproduceDocumentOptions - defines options for creating a re-production job when using the re-production mode called ReproduceDocument. The options include:
  • NativeReproductionOption - specifies whether to produce native documents when running a re-production job.
  • BurnRedactions - a Boolean value specifying whether to burn redactions on re-produced images. When using this option, a valid markup set must exist.
  • MarkupSet - the markup set to use when burning redactions on re-produced documents.

• ReproductionJobResult - the result of a re-projection job operation.
  • ReproductionJobID - the re-production job ID.
  • ProductionsCreated - a list of productions created from the re-production job.
    • InnerReproductionJobResult - information about the created production job.
      • ProductionID - the production ID of the production.
      • ParentProductionID - the production ID of the original production.
      • Errors - error messages generated if the production job wasn't created.
      • Warnings - warning messages about the production job.
      • Messages - informational messages about the production job.
  • WasJobCreated - a Boolean value indicating whether the job was created.
    • Errors - error messages generated if the production job wasn't created.
    • Warnings - warning messages about the re-production job.
    • Messages - informational messages about the re-production job.

The Re-production Manager AP includes multiple enumerations. The following list highlights some of the key enumerations:

• ReproductionType - the type of re-production job. A re-production job only has one type. The types include:
  • ReproduceDocument - re-produces a document with new branding or markup sets. The re-produced document must have the same number of pages before and after re-production. To further customize the re-production job, use the ReproduceDocumentOptions class.
  • ReplaceDocumentWithPlaceholder - replaces a document with a placeholder. To further customize the re-production job, use the ReplaceDocumentWithPlaceholderOptions class.
  • ReplacePlaceholderWithDocument - replaces a placeholder with the original document. To further customize the re-production job, use the ReplacePlaceholderWithDocumentOptions class.

• ReproductionStatus - the status of a re-production job. The statuses include:
  • Created - the re-production job was been created, but not yet run.

  • Running - the re-production job is currently running without errors.

    A production status of Staged results in a re-production status of Running because it between the New and Produced production states.

  • RunningWithErrors - the re-production job is currently running but some productions have errored.
  • Completed - the re-production job has completed all productions successfully.
  • CompletedWithErrors - the re-production job has completed all productions, but some have errored.
  • DoesNotExist - an invalid re-production job. If all productions in the job have been deleted, a status of DoesNotExist is returned.

The CreateReproductionJobAsync() method has the following parameters. You can pass a database token or document IDs to this overloaded method.

• workspaceArtifactID - the Artifact ID of a workspace.
• reproductionOptions - a ReproductionOptions object, which defines the type and settings for the re-production job. Each re-production type must match its corresponding options class. If you select ReproduceDocument for the ReproductionType, populate ReproduceDocumentOptions on the ReproductionOptions object. See Classes for more information about these options:
• ReplaceDocumentWithPlaceholderOptions class
• ReplacePlaceholderWithDocumentOptions class
• ReproduceDocumentOptions class

• productions - a list of ProductionRef objects. The re-production job modifies the productions in this list.
• databaseToken - a GUID representing the database token of a custom mass operation. Only document mass operations are supported.
• documentIDs - a list of Artifact IDs representing the documents to be re-produced.

Review these general guidelines before creating re-production jobs:

• The CreateReproductionJobAsync() method doesn't run re-production jobs. To run these jobs, use the stage and run method or the mass stage and run method. See Production Manager (.NET).
• You must have the document view permission and the production view, edit, and add permissions to use this method.
• You can only re-produce images and placeholders. You can choose to export natives in a re-production job, but natives can't be re-produced.
• We recommend creating re-production jobs with under 10,000 documents. If you want to create a larger job, split the requests into batches.
• If the documents selected for re-production aren't included in the original production job, they won' be re-produced. For example, a production contains documents A and B. You attempt to include documents B and C for re-production. Only document B is re-produced because document C doesn't exist in the production.

• A re-production job can only use one set of options to further customize it. The following types of re-productions include:
  • ReproduceDocument - re-produce a document with new branding or markup sets. The re-produced document must have the same number of pages before and after re-production.
  • ReplaceDocumentWithPlaceholder - replace a document with a placeholder.
  • ReplacePlaceholderWithDocument - replace a placeholder with the original document.
• The CreateReproductionJobAsync() method returns a ReproductionJobResult object. It contains the ReproductionJobID, a list of the created productions, errors, messages, and warnings. For each requested re-production, the InnerReproductionJobResult object provides specific information about errors that occurred for the given re-production.

The following code sample illustrates how to use the document IDs to create a re-production job.

The following code sample illustrates how to create a re-production job and retrieve related details for it. Before you can create the job, you must generate a database token that is passed to the CreateReproductionJobAsync() method.

Use the following steps to generate a database token for select documents:

1. Create a custom mass operation. See Develop Mass Operation handlers.
2. In Relativity, navigate to the Resource Files tab and add the custom mass operation by clicking New Resource File.
3. Navigate to the Object Type tab and link the custom mass operation to the Document object. See Adding a custom mass operation.
4. Navigate to the Documents tab within a workspace.
5. Select the documents that you want to retrieve produced production information for.

6. In the mass operations bar, click the custom mass operation. A database token is generated that corresponds to a table in the database that holds the selected documents. The database token is at the end of the URL on the page that opens.

Passing a database token eliminates a second server trip to retrieve the requested document IDs of the custom mass operation.

The following code sample illustrates how to use the database token generated in the previous steps to create a re-production job.
