Limitations

Compared to the CalderaRIP's Spooler module, there are, for now, some limitations:

  • Actions on jobs: Release, change copies, are not implemented
  • Architecture Client/Server (aka SuperSpooler) is not implemented

For more limitations on archives, please refer to the dedicated article.
