JobServer.NET Installed Modules

This section details the module plugins which are included with JobServer.NET when it is initially installed. Watch for additional downloadable modules which can be installed optionally. Before reviewing the individual modules, something to note are some commonly used conventions in the installed modules. The modules that take a list of one or more files as one of the main input parameters for some process will usually use the name FileSource for this purpose. And any module that outputs a list of one or more files that would be directly compatible with using as the input to these will usually use the name FileList as the output for these parameters. We will refer to both in general terms as a FileList and we will see why this sometimes has more significance to it later. For now, it is sufficient to just say that this is just a list of files that we either provide as an input parameter to a module or generate as a list of files found or processed as an output parameter from a module. The most common example of the second is using the [Files] Find module to pick a selection of files and then passing that onto another module as the list of files for it to process. For modules with a FileSource input parameter, generally if you do not need to use the more powerful options the [Files] Find module provides, then you can just supply the folder with a filename pattern on the end of the path. An example would be specifying a folder path and filename pattern like C:\Temp\*.log for FileSource.
