FTP Output Service User Options
FTP output user options control certain functions of the FTP Client service, which in turn has a direct impact on all FTP output
tasks performed by PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools on a given computer.
The available FTP output user options are as follows:
l Protocol options group
l Log all Winsock and network messages: Select to have PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools keep a log of
all Winsock and other network messages that occur through the FTP output. These messages are related to jobs
sent from PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to a server via an FTP output, which in turn uses the FTP output
service. Log files are kept in the Log folder, which is located in the PlanetPress Suite installation folder. They are
named ftpdate.log, where date is the current date in yyyymmdd numerical format. Note that changing this
option also affects the log displayed in the PlanetPress Suite Service Console.
l Interval: Select the interval (in seconds) at which the FTP service is to dispatch jobs from the ftpPut folder to
the FTP sites.
l Back up job on error: Select to move the job file to a local folder ftpPut\error if an error occurs while send-
ing a job via the FTP output. This folder is relative to your install folder.
l FTP Port: Select the port number that you want PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools to use for all FTP output
tasks. The recommended port is 21 (the default setting).
PlanetPress Image User Options
PlanetPress Image user options control certain functions of the PlanetPress Image service, which in turn has a direct impact on
all PlanetPress Image output tasks performed on a given computer. These include error and logging options, PlanetPress
Search database options, as well as networking and email options.
Bear in mind that PlanetPress Image output tasks included in a given PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools configuration can be
performed by a PlanetPress Image installation running on a different computer, typically one that runs only PlanetPress
Image. When you change the user options on a given computer, only that computer is affected. So you should consider chang-
ing the PlanetPress Image user options on the computer that actually performs the PlanetPress Image output tasks.
The changes you make to the PlanetPress Image user options are stored in the PlanetPress Image configuration file (ppim-
age.cfg). They will be applied when PlanetPress Image is started.
The available PlanetPress Image user options are separated in four different sections:
PlanetPress Image 1 or logging tab
l Administrator’s address(es): Enter one or more system administrator email addresses to which error and other
messages related to the creation of PDFs/images by PlanetPress Image are sent. Separate multiple email addresses
with semi-colons (;).
l Send to the administrator group
l Daily log: Select to send an email to the administrator every day at midnight (according to the local system
clock) reporting the daily activity of PlanetPress Image. The log is sent to all addresses you enter in the Admin-
istrator’s address(es) text box.
l Error Log: Select to send an email that includes the current error log to the administrator when an error
occurs. The error log is sent to all addresses you enter in the Administrator’s address(es) text box.
l Error file: When enabled, sends an e-mail with an attachment of the offending file when an error occurs in the
PlanetPress Image output task. Additionally, a backup of the job is created in the Error folder, which is located in
the PlanetPress Suite installation folder.
