we strongly recommended doing so. It is considered "Best Practice" to convert the documents to the
version installed and then re-send them to the Workflow Tools.
Backing up Workflow files
To save all Workflow-related files, backup the entire working directory:
C:\ProgramData\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8
Here are a few important points when transferring these files:
l If you are upgrading to the latest version of Connect, it is recommended to open each
template in Designer, produce a proof making sure the output is correct. Then send the
template with its data mapper, job and output preset files to Workflow by clicking on File -
> Send to Workflow…
l If you still use PlanetPress 7 legacy documents, PTK files can be imported by clicking on
the Workflow tool button at the top left corner of the Workflow tool interface. If copying the
PlanetPress Workflow 8 folder directly, it's important to delete any file with the .ps7
extension so as to refresh the PostScript file for the new workstation.
l The Workflow configuration file itself is named ppwatch.cfg, and is backed up with the
folders. However, it needs to be re-sent to the Service to be used. To do this, rename the
file to .OL-Workflow, open the file with the Workflow tool, and send the configuration.
l Locate Custom Plugins (.dll) from the below folder on the old workstation and import them
onto the new workstation
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress
Workflow 8\Plugins
To import the plugins:
l Start the Workflow Configuration Tool
l Click on the Plug-in Bar
l
Click on the down pointing triangle under the Uncategorized group
l
Select Import Plug-in and select the .dll file.
l
Import external scripts used by the Run Script plugin, making sure they reflect the same
paths as on the previous workstation
l Install any external application, executable and configuration files used by the External
Program plugin, making sure they reflect the same paths as on the previous workstation
