Input
Any data file in any format.
Processing
This task assigns the defined values to each local or global variables or job informations. It does not modify the data file nor
the metadata.
Output
The original data file, metadata and job infos are not modified, they are passed on to the next task.
Set Job Infos and Variables action task properties are as follows:
General tab
l Var/Info#: Lists all job infos, local variables in the current process and global variables in the configuration. Click on
the variable you want to change.
l Value: Enter the value that you want to associate with the selected job information element or custom variable.
l
button:Adds a new line and lets you define the variable and value to set.
l
button:Removes the line that is currently selected (highlighted).
l
button: Moves the line up so it is processed before.
l
button: Moves the line down so it is processed after.
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.
SOAP Client Plug-in
SOAP Client tasks can be used as input, output and action tasks, although their basic function is to generate output. SOAP (Sim-
ple Object Access Protocol) is a light protocol that defines a standard XML format used to communicate among systems across
different architectures, languages, and operating systems.
A SOAP request is an XML-based Remote Procedure Call (RPC) sent using the HTTP transport protocol. The payload of the
SOAP packet is an XML document that specifies the call being made and the parameters being passed.
Web services, a SOAP class of applications, expose their services via the Internet in a manner that lets other applications
access them, as well as use and combine them as required.
In order to access and successfully use Web services, client applications must know how to get them, what operations they
support, what parameters they expect, as well as what they return. SOAP servers make this information available via WSDL
(Web Service Description Language) files.
To configure a given SOAP Client task in the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program, you must first get its
WSDL file (note that you cannot download the WSDL file over an HTTPS connection, so you should use an HTTP connection to
get the file and then switch back to a secure connection). This lets you know which services the SOAP server provides, as well
as each service’s methods and namespaces.
If firewalls control communication between the SOAP client and the Web servers, they must be configured so as not to block
client-server communication.
