7.5

The On Error Tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found on Task Properties Dialog.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process where errors are
being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the variables selected in this window
will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are overwritten.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks because they are
related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830, W3991, W4005. These cor-
respond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab, added in PlanetPress Suite 7.5, is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area (Task
comments)that lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the
OKbutton, and are displayed in The Task Comments Pane.
LPD Input
LPD (Line Printer Daemon) input tasks retrieve data in the form of print files sent from remote computers using the LPD/LPR
protocol. ThePlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools LPD server starts automatically when a configuration that includes at least one
active LPD input task is started.
To prevent conflicts between competing LPD servers, you must not run any other LPD server than the PlanetPress Suite Work-
flow Tools LPD server on PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools workstation.
LPD tasks are configured primarily through user options (see LPD Input Preferences). The only LDP information you enter in
each LPD task is the queue name.
Input
This task does not poll an input, it sits there and waits for a job file to be sent through the LPRport.
Processing
When the job is received through LPR, it is saved as a job file. No further processing is done on the file.
Output
The task outputs the job file as is, with no evaluation or modification.
LDP input task property is as follows:
General tab
l LPD queue name: Enter the queue name specified in the printer queue on the remote computer or computers.
"Other" Tab
l Job Information group
l Information elements:indicates what job infos are automatically created by the input task.
l Add lines before first data page:Using the arrows keys you can add any job information directly at the
beginning of your data file.
l Backup input files:Check this to save a copy of each data file that is captured by your input. These files are saved in
the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools working folders under the "Backup"folder.
l Backup filename:Enter the filename that you wish the input data file backup to be saved under.
