checked in that tab and an error process is selected in the drop-down list.
To create an error process, simply replace the initial input task by the InputErrorBin Input Task, and that process auto-
matically becomes able to handle error jobs sent to it. It is up to you, however, to decide how that error job will be handled.
For example, you could place the job file in a specific folder, then send an email to a supervisor indicating that a job has failed.
Or you could update a database with an error status so that it appears on a customer's online order. You could also zip the
order up and send it to an administrator, while simultaneously advising the person that sent the job that it failed.
You can have as many error processes as you can normal processes - that is, you are limited to 512 processes, subprocesses,
startup processes and error processes combined.
Accessing the Logs
If your process is running live in the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service, you have two ways of seeing what is hap-
pening, now or in the past.

l LPDServer
l Telnet Capture
l Serial Capture
l HTTP/SOAP Server
l LPRClient
l FTPClient
l PlanetPress Image
l PlanetPress Fax
l PlanetPress Messenger
l When any job or file is processed by the selected service, the processing logs will be displayed in the window on the
right.
The information that is displayed here is the same as in the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools logs and depends on
the logging level that you set in the "Logging User Options" (page 68).
To view logs for jobs that have already processed
