Automation of printing tasks from the cloud for local printers
The CloudBridge is a local server that can be reached from outside. Since the server first reports to brandsmill, the IP address is known there.
You need a PORT e.g. 8087 on your router with the computer that carries out the print jobs.
The brandsmill.json file must be saved with the access information next to the CloudBridge.jar.

The brandsmill.json file has the following structure
The brandsmill.json file has the following structure
{ "version": "1.0",
"mode": "production",
"target":"https://www.brandsmill.de",
"port": "8087",
"tenant": ".....",
"userId": ".....",
"webApiSecureToken": ".....",
"callMinuteIntervall": "180",
"lastPrintedBackupMax": "10"
}
The tenant is your client number. The UserId is the ID of the employee with access to Google Drive. The WEB API Secure Token must be stored in the company under Access and entered here.
mode: set to "noprint" and only the lastprinted.pdf will be printed without sending it to the printer. This allows you to control print tests without wasting paper.
lastPrintedBackupMax: Number of backups of lastprinted.pdf. Creates files n L_1_LASTPRINTED.PDF, L_2_LASTPRINTED.PDF to n. Is set to 1 with each restart.
The server should be called up as follows (the required parameters are stored in the "brandsmill.json" file.

It is best to include this in the start of the computer. Since the CloudBridge reports to brandsmill at a defined interval, a changing IP address may also be known there.
Requirements
Requirements
The respective computer needs Java for this. Install this from java.com.
The call to the CloudBridge should be stored in the computer's auto start (e.g. with a cloudbridget.bat and the line:
cd "... change to the directory with the files of the CloudBridge"
java -jar CloudBridge.jar
java -jar CloudBridge.jar
java -jar CloudBridge.jar

Working method
Working method
The CloudBridge retrieves open printing tasks from brandsmill via HTTPS. The CloudBridge receives temporary access to Google Drive to retrieve documents. The print jobs are connected to a printer that must be accessible on the computer. Receipts are sent as PDF to the designated printer.
If brandsmill detects print jobs in the workflow, the corresponding CloudBridge is called via http request to retrieve all active jobs.
There is no need to operate a print dialog on the computer. Regardless of who initiates print jobs, the printers are assigned to the different types of processes (offers, invoices, etc.).
