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.
Folder Capture
Folder Capture input tasks retrieve files corresponding to a specified file mask, from a specified folder.
Input
Folder Capture retrieves all files corresponding to the specified mask. These files may be of any format, even formats that are
not readable by PlanetPress Workflow.
Processing
Each file capture by the input is sent down through the process, one at a time. When the file is finished, the process goes back
to the input which feeds another file down, as long as there are files in the queue. Once all the files are gone, the task polls the
input folder again to see if new files are present and, if so, the process continues with these files. Otherwise, the process ends.
Output
The output to this task is a series of individual files, one after the other. These files are not modified in any way from when
they are captured from the source folder.
As with any task that can refer to network resources, it is important to understand the considerations involved with
paths and permissions of these resources. Please refer to the Network Considerations page in the Advanced Con-
figuration and Options chapter (Reference Guide, in English only).
If you create a Folder Capture input task that takes any file it finds in the root folder of one of your hard disks, then
PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools will try to remove all the files located in that folder, including all the system and hid-
den files. So when using a Folder Capture, be aware of where you are capturing.
General Tab
l Folder: Enter the full path of the folder from which the input files are to be taken.
l Masks: Enter a single or multiple file names or use file name masks. See Masks.
l Sort files by: Select a given sorting method to prompt PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to sort the files in the source
folder before taking them (and thus to take them in a specific order). Select None to let PlanetPress Suite Workflow
Tools take the files without sorting them first.
l Sort order: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, select the order in which you want the files to
be sorted.
l Use archive attribute: Select to turn on the archive attribute of the data files found in the source folder and to leave
them in their original location (i.e. to take copies of the source files). Note that PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools never
takes source files that have their archive attribute turned on (so the source files will not be taken again and again).
When this option is turned off, PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools removes data files from the source location.
l Capture files in sub-directories also: Select to capture files from child folders of the source folder as well.
l Sort directories first: If you selected a sorting method in the Sort files by box, and if you want the folders present
in the source folder to be sorted first, select this option. When this option is selected, the chosen Sort order is applied to
