If a server is greyed out, this may mean you do not have access to send a configuration remotely to it. For more information,
please see Access Manager.
Note that if PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service is paused when you send a new configuration, it will not stop
and restart. Since PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service reads its configuration file when it starts up, when you
resume processing, PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools service will continue using the old configuration.
Import Processes from Another Configuration File
You can import individual processes or groups of processes from a PlanetPress Suite configuration file without having to import
the contents of the entire configuration file. PlanetPress Suite Configuration imports everything necessary to run the proc-
esses, including configured tasks and configuration components.
To import components from another configuration file:
1. From the PlanetPress Suite Button, choose Import | Configuration Components.
The Import dialog appears.
2. Navigate to the PlanetPress Workflow Tool configuration file containing the processes or groups of processes you want
to import.
3. Select the file, then click Open.
The Import Configuration dialog appears displaying all the processes and/or process groups, as well as the Sub-
processes, Global Variables, PlanetPress Design documents and Printer Queues in the selected configuration file.
4. In the list, select the components you want to import. The PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration program lets
you open and import any of the following:
l Complete PlanetPress Watch 4 to 6 configurations, as well as PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools 7 configurations.
l Specific processes from Version 6 and 7 configurations, including their local variables.
l Specific subprocesses from any PlanetPress Suite 7 Workflow Tools configurations.
l Specific global variables from PlanetPress Suite 7 Workflow Tools configurations.
l Specific PlanetPress or PrintShop Mail documents.
l Specific Printer Queues.
5. Check "Overwrite existing components with same name" if you want processes with existing names to be
overwritten by those in the imported configuration, or uncheck it to duplicate those processes under a new dynamic
name.
6. Click OK to start the import.
PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools Configuration imports the selected objects and automatically renames duplicate
items in the imported configuration. If the current and imported configurations both include a startup process, the one
in the imported configuration will become a standard process.
Important considerations
l When importing a PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools configuration file, your PlanetPress Design and PrintShop Mail doc-
ument are not physically imported as they are not part of the configuration file itself. In order for the documents to be
available, you will need to send each document from PlanetPress Design and PrintShop Mail (see their respective doc-
umentation for details).
l If you import a PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools configuration that contains a PlanetPress Image or PlanetPress Fax
output task, you must update the task’s properties and refresh the host name. Otherwise, when PlanetPress Suite
Workflow Tools will attempt to output the file, an error will be generated.
