The On Error tab will be triggered if your script has an execution error (such as syntax error, etc) as well as when rais-
ing an error from wtihin your script. For more information, see
On Error Tab
The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on "Task Properties Dialog" (page 54).
Send to Process
The Send to Process task transfers job file(s), job information and all related files (metadata, sorted metadata, etc.) to a
selected process. This action task is asynchronous, meaning the current process will continue running in parallel to the process
chosen in this task and will not wait for it to finish.
This task is dual-purpose:It can be used either as an Action task, or as an Output task. In either case, it does not directly
produce an output, though the process it calls may produce one or more outputs.
In either case, the called process will ignore the input task along with its job infos and schedule, and use the job file, job infos,
metadata and variables from the current process.
General tab
l Process: The name of the target process to send current job to. Note that startup and subprocesses are not avail-
able. You can either enter the name of a process (or use variable properties)or use the drop-down to list existing proc-
esses.

SNMP Condition
SNMPis a communication protocol for helping network administrators manage devices and peripherals on their network. It is
useful for verifying the status of network printers, as you can retrieve error and other status messages that printers send out,
such as being out of paper or having low toner.
PlanetPress Workflow Tools uses the SNMPprotocol in the form of an SNMPCondition, in to ways:
l To check the status of printers on your network against values you set in a condition, and to return a true or false value.
This is called setting a Printer condition in the SNMPcondition's properties dialog box.
l To check different values of printers or other SNMPcompatible devices against conditions you set, to return a true or
false value. This is called setting a User defined condition in the SNMPcondition's properties dialog box. You indicate
what is called management information bases (MIB)and object identifiers (OID)that are extensible and can be vendor
specific.
SNMP Condition properties are as follows:
General tab
l Parameters group
l Community: Enter the community name for the printer or other SNMP compliant device you want to monitor.
Acommunity acts like a combination of a user and password granting you access to an SNMPdevice. Depending
on the community name, the device knows what rights to grant, for example, read-only or read-write. Com-
munity names serve as a form of organization and security used with SNMP. The community name must allow
