3. From the Task index box, select the index level to which you want the data to be sent. The index is the position in the
process where you want to submit the job file.
4. In the list of backed up input files, select the file you want to resubmit.
5. Using the From page and To page boxes, select the data pages that you want to resubmit. If you want to resubmit all
the data pages from the selected input file, enter 0 in both boxes.
6. Click Send to resubmit the data.
7. To resubmit backed up input files for the same process or for a different one, repeat step 2 to step 6.
8. To close the File Resubmission dialog box, click Close.
The From page and To page boxes are only useful for printer queue (or printer capture)inputs. They will not func-
tion for other types of inputs. In these cases, the complete backup job is submitted.
Knowing What to Resubmit
When something goes wrong with an output job, a print job for instance, and printouts are lost, you usually need to know the
following information in order to resubmit the input:
l The name of the job. This refers to the name used internally by PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools. This name is gen-
erated by the input task using parameters defined within the task. To simplify file identification, you should consider
using names that include both the name of the original input file (if any) plus some details such as the current date and
time.
l The number of each failed page. If a job contains 1000 pages and if pages 1 to 950 were printed correctly, you need not
resubmit the entire job, but only the 50 last pages.
But finding this information often poses a problem. A good way to find this information easily is to print it using small char-
acters at the bottom of every page. To do this, you have to do the following.
In PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools:
l Use a Set Job Info action task and associate a variable with the job’s name.
l In the output task, make sure to select the option that adds the job information to the document.
In PlanetPress Design:
l Somewhere at the bottom of each document page, add a Data Selection object defined as a custom data selection that
contains a reference to the job info variable sent from PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools and a current page marker.
You can use, for example, =&watch.jobinfos[6]+'-'+intostr(&current.datapage)'
