Processing
A connection to the selected database is made, the data is retrieved, and an output in the

Task properties
Database Connection Tab
l
Database group
l
Location: Enter either the path and name of the database or a database connection
string in this box. You may click to navigate to the database and paste the database
path and name automatically to this box. You may also click create an ODBC
connection string to the data source and paste the string automatically to this box. If
a login name and password are required to connect to the database, a dialog box is
displayed and the information you enter is saved in the configuration of the
PlanetPress Workflow Database action task.
l
Table/Query: Select the table or query containing the information you need as your
input data.
l
Range group
l
All: Select this option use all the records included in the database.
l
Records: Select this option use only some of the records in the database. Indicate
the range by entering the number of the first record followed by a dash and the
number of the last record. To use records 50 to 75, for example, enter 50-75. Note
that this option is intended mostly for testing purposes, since in real life scenarios,
you typically want to use all the records stored in a database.
l
Emulation group: Use options from this group to customize the data file generated by the
PlanetPress Workflow Database action task.
l
Output file emulation: Select the emulation corresponding to the type of output file
you want the PlanetPress Workflow Database action task to generate.
