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.
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.
Variable Properties
When you edit tasks, you may notice that some of the properties that you can modify have a red(or more precisely, a
maroon) title. This means that the property can be dynamically determined whenever your process runs, that is to say it will
not remain static. This can be extremely useful when, for example, you want to determine how many copies you will print out
depending on your data, or what document will be used in the printout depending on the department it came from.
Variable properties may include:
l Static data.
l Standard Variables. See Standard Variables.
l Local and Global Variables. See Manipulate Local Variables.
l Job Infos. See Job Info Variables.
l Data and Metadata Selections. See Data Selections in PlanetPress Workflow Tools.
l Printer Control Characters. See Shared Printer Queue Properties. These are normally only used in printer outputs.
Variable propertiescan also be used in these special locations:
l In the Set Job Infos and Variables Action Task. See Set Job Infos and Variables.
l In Scripts. See the chapter on Using Scripts.
l In the Create File Input Task. See Create File.
l Within a PlanetPress Design Document, using the ExpandString()PlanetPressTalk function.See the PlanetPress Design
User Guide and PlanetPress Talk Reference Guide.
Variable properties can also be mixed, meaning you can combine, within a single variable property box, any number and
order of variable types. You can, for example, do the following for an output file name: %O_@(1,1,1,30, KeepCase,Trim)_
%y-%m-%d.txt. This would translate in the original filename, followed by part of the first line of a text data file, then the cur-
rent date.
