The Pack job, Unpack job, and Monitor confirmation tools can be used to implement acknowledged hand-off of jobs between instances of Switch running on separate computers, regardless of the communication channel used to transfer the data. The involved instances of Switch may reside on the same local network, or they may be in remote locations connected through the Internet (or any other communications channel).
Furthermore, Pack job and Unpack job can carry over any Switch metadata associated with the job, including internal job ticket information (such as email and hierarchy information), external metadata and (of course) embedded metadata. This feature can be used with or without acknowledged hand-off.
