Abstract
A document server is provided for processing a distribution job in a document processing system. The document processing system includes a document manager, communicating with first and second virtual services, for coordinating the storing or processing of first and second copies of an image data set at the first and second virtual services, respectively. The document processing system further includes a distribution agent, communicating with the document manager, for receiving a first job ticket, including attributes for controlling the storing or processing of the first copy of the image data set at the first virtual service and a second job ticket for controlling the storing or processing of the second copy of the image data set at the second virtual service. In practice, the distribution agent transmits the first job ticket to the document manager at a first time so that the document manager routes the first copy of the image data set and the first job ticket to the first virtual service, and the distribution agent transmits the second job ticket to the document manager at a second time so that the document manager routes the second copy of the image data set and second job ticket to the second virtual service.
