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.
FTP Output
FTP output tasks send job files to other computers using the FTP protocol. It is similar to the Sent to Folder output task but
sends to an FTPconnection instead of a local drive.
The following describes the properties specific to FTP output tasks. Note that some FTP settings used for all FTP output tasks
are available via the PlanetPressSuite Workflow Tools user options (see FTP Output Service User Options).
Input
Any data file.
Processing
The file is sent to the FTPServer and location defined in the task' properties.

Suite Workflow Tools task.
