Go Sub
The GoSub action task transfers the execution of the calling process to the specified subprocess. When a process encounters
a GoSub action, it halts its own execution, start the subprocess and waits for it to complete before resuming its workflow with
the next task.
Every subprocess starts with a BeginSub input task and ends with a EndSub output task, both of which have nothing to con-
figure and cannot be replaced or deleted. The simply represents entry and exit points for the subprocess.
While it is possible to place a GoSub action within a subprocess, doing so will hide the subprocess from any GoSub
action, in order to avoid circular referencing (aka an infinite loop).
General tab
l Subprocess: Drop down list containing all the available subprocesses in the current configuration.
l Backup job file: Select if you want to use identical copies of the job file for the main process and the subprocess.
l Backup job information: Select if you want to use identical copies of the job file information for the main proces
and subprocess. Once the subprocess completes its execution, the main process will retrieve the original job infor-
mation values.
l Backup emulation: Select if you want to use the emulation selected when the job file reaches the subprocess for the
main process as well. Note that the emulation is not passed from a main process to a subprocess or vice versa.
l Retrieve subprocess error: Select if you want to receive error(s) from the subprocess in order to handle them on
its own.
On Error Tab
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.
Loop
Loop action tasks are used to repeat those tasks that are located after it on a given process branch. The number of repeats
can be fixed or variable, as required.
Loop action task properties are as follows:
