following topic:
• PlanetPress Watch/Server Process Options (Page 249)
14.1.1 PlanetPress Watch Process Options
The Object Inspector lets you see and change only some of the properties associated with a process. To have
access to the other properties, you must open the PlanetPress Watch/Server Process Options dialog box. This
dialog box contains a time grid that lets you set the process’ schedule.
PlanetPress Watch/Server Process Options properties are as follows:
General tab
Active: Select to make the process active. Clear to prevent this process from running when you send the
configuration to PlanetPress Watch/Server.
Startup process: Select to make this process a startup process. A startup process runs only once when
PlanetPress Watch/Server is started and cannot have an interval or specific schedule. Each configuration can
have only a single startup process.
As soon as possible: Select to have the process run continuously. Clear to enable the Month, Week of month
/ by date and Time division boxes or to use the time grid to set exactly when you want this process to run.
Day(s) to keep backup: Indicate the number of days to keep backups of jobs processed by input tasks.
Note that backups will only be kept for those input tasks that have the Keep backup file option selected and
that they are required to resubmit input files. No backups are kept when PlanetPress Watch/Server runs in
debug mode.
Polling interval: Enter the number of seconds during which the process’ initial input task is to remain idle
once it has finished processing all the data files available from the source location. For example, if you enter a
value of 30, the process’ initial input task will verify the presence of files from its source location the moment
the process is on schedule, it will process all the available data files, then remain idle for 30 seconds, and once
more verify the presence of files from its source location.
Month: Select the month of the year when the process should be run or select All months to have the process
run all year long.
Week of month / by date: Select the desired option for the time grid. Note that any selection you make in
this box will be interpreted based on the selection made in the Month box. If you chose All months in the
Month box and Last in the Week of month / by date box, then the process will run on the last week of every
month. If you chose January in the Month box and First in the Week of month / by date box, then the process
will run only on the first week of January.
• Select Date to display dates on the grid’s top ruler.
• Select any of the other options to display days on the top ruler.
• Select All weeks to have the process run every week.
• Select First, Second, Third or Fourth to have the process run on the first, second, third or fourth week.
• Select Last to have the process run only on the last week.
