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.
Create File
Create File input tasks are different from other input tasks in that they do not pull in data from a source location. The data that
this task passes along to other task is its own: text or values from variables entered when the task was created or last edited.
Since Create File input tasks are not dependent on data from external sources, they are performed at every polling interval
and the process is thus started every time.
Input
Create File does not capture any file and, if it is a secondary input task, discards the current data file.
Processing
Create File generates a job file with the contents of it's text. If variables and control characters are present, they are evaluated
at runtime when the task is executed.
Output
The output is the job file. No metadata is generated by the task itself, however if metadata is present in the job and it is not
deleted (in the "Other" tab), it will remain active.
Create File input task property is as follows:
General Tab
l Create File: Enter the text to use as the data. The Create File box is a Variables Properties box, so you can use any of
the variables, control characters or data selections as noted in Variable Properties.
l Add CRLF after last line: Check if you want the plugin to automatically add a new line at the end of the file. Remove
the checkmark to leave the file as-is, useful in the creation of CSV files for example.
l Delete Metadata: Check to delete any metadata attached to your data file.
"Other" Tab
l Job Information group
l Information elements:indicates what job infos are automatically created by the input task.
l Add lines before first data page:Using the arrows keys you can add any job information directly at the
beginning of your data file.
l Backup input files:Check this to save a copy of each data file that is captured by your input. These files are saved in
the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools working folders under the "Backup"folder.
l Backup filename:Enter the filename that you wish the input data file backup to be saved under.
l Delete Existing Metadata:Check to remove any metadata from memory. This option is disabled on initial input
tasks, and is checked by default on secondary input tasks.
