the actual printing part, so there is no way for your PlanetPress Suite Worflow Tool to ensure that all the settings you
make will be applied to the printed document.
l Job name: Enter the job’s file name. By default, the variable %f (Job File Name) is used. You may use a different var-
iable, but you may not use a data selection. This information may be used for the printer’s banner page.
l Job owner name: Enter the job owner name. You may use a PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools variable.
This option is not functional when natively printing PDFs (without a document).
l Documents: Select a specific PlanetPress Design document if you want all the jobs to be printed with that document.
l Natively print PDFfile: This special option can be used if your job file is a PDF. The job will .
l Add job information to the document: Select to prompt your PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to add the avail-
able job information elements in the header of the file that will be sent to the selected printer queues.
Metadata
If no metadata file is found, the from/to page settings from the job and the printer's properties from the task configuration are
used, with the job's settings overriding those of the printer where applicable.If a metadata file is found, it is used to indicate
which pages are printed and in which order. Any other metadata is ignored.
Known issue: If a data file with metadata is resubmitted to such a process, the from/to page values set by the user in the
Resubmit interface are ignored.
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 51).
About SOAP Client Plug-in
Contrary to the Legacy SOAP client task, SOAP Client plug-in can only be used as output or action tasks. SOAP (Simple Object
Access Protocol) is a light protocol that defines a standard XML format used to communicate among systems across different
architectures, languages, and operating systems. A SOAP request is an XML-based Remote Procedure Call (RPC) sent using
the HTTP transport protocol. The payload of the SOAP packet is an XML document that specifies the call being made and the
parameters being passed.
Web services, a SOAP class of applications, expose their services via the Internet in a manner that lets other applications
access them, as well as use and combine them as required.
In order to access and successfully use Web services, client applications must know how to get them, what operations they
support, what parameters they expect, as well as what they return. SOAP servers make this information available via WSDL
(Web Service Description Language) files.
To configure a given SOAP Client task in the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration programs, you must first get its
WSDL file (note that you cannot download the WSDL file over an HTTPS connection, so you should use an HTTP connection to
get the file and then switch back to a secure connection). This lets you know which services the SOAP server provides, as well
as each service’s methods and namespaces.
If firewalls control communication between the SOAP client and the Web servers, they must be configured so as not to block
client-server communication.
For more on SOAP, including the new SOAP API and SOAP Server, refer to the PlanetPress Workflow Tool Reference Guide.
SOAP Client Task Properties
SOAP Client tasks can be used as input, output and action tasks, although their basic function is to generate output. SOAP (Sim-
ple Object Access Protocol) is a light protocol that defines a standard XML format used to communicate among systems across
