Batch Task API

We are planing to develop a batch task API and I would like to discuss what features would you like the API to provide.

Hello Romulus,
that is good news. Here my first Brainstorming : )
I would like to get a possibility
- to insert the custom batch-tasks in Studio,
- to be able to perform them alone or in sequences.
- to start such custom Batch Tasks through the project API
- to save eventual settings in the sdlproj file.
- to use templates with custom batch tasks
- to start programs which perform actions (read, write, add, replace,...) on the files in the project: source files (pre-processing), sdlxliff (QS), cleaned up files (post-processing), reference files
- to start programs which are independant from Studio
- to restart certain batch tasks for example the Analyse after a source file has been corrected or added.

Thank you for asking
Sébastien

Looking forward to this. Now I'll do some wild brainstorming:

Post Finalization or Target File Generation copy certain files to predefined folders

Batch export TMs as a backup

Define a special subset of QA checks and run them as a batch task

Spellcheck project: i.e. open all files and run spellchecker and create report.

But I'm not too sure if this is the answer you are really expecting.

Best regards,

Robert

I'd like to add some too:

predefine source file location and include this in a batch task for creating projects

support the addition of your own tasks, whatever they are, and make available through the batch task menu

my 2 cents:
- being able to perform some operations on sdlxliff files like changing some TU metadata or loookup for specific words and adding informations on tu
- being able to declare if my custom task can work in cooperation with other tasks (like pretranslate -> analyze) or if they require some other task/condition to be performed/fulfilled before being used
- being able to export analyze data or other kind of information via xml file or even better: make a http request/soap-rest call
- being able to write a report so that Trados can see it between other project reports.
