l On all systems:
l C:\Windows\Temp\
l Processes:
l PPAlmbic.exe
l Service.exe
l PPWatchService.exe
l PPImageService.exe
l MessengerService.exe
Note
C:\Windows\Temp\ is used by multiple software which may cause risks on your computer.
However, PlanetPress Workflow may use this folder as temporary storage, especially in the case of
creating PDF files. We do not recommend disabling scan on this folder, unless you notice
performance issues when generating PDFs, and then only as a test.
Backup considerations
For similar reasons, it is important to know that backup software can also access files while
copying them to a remote backup location, so you should make sure that no PlanetPress
Workflow process is working during your backups.
Microsoft Office compatibility
The Microsoft Office 2010 line of products, other than Pro and Enterprise, has not been certified
for use with PlanetPress Workflow. Some of its products may not be compatible with the
connectors included in the Suite.
Setting up the working environment
After installation, the working environment needs to be set up before you start using Workflow.
This involves:
l Defining the printer (see Activate Your Printers).
l Configuring PlanetPress Workflow Services (see "Workflow Services" on page582).
