Note
Subprocesses do not have the General tab which is only used for scheduling, but they do
have the Information tab.
Options
General tab
l
Active: Select to make the process active. Clear to prevent this process from running
when you send the configuration to PlanetPress Workflow.
l
Startup: Select to make this process a startup process (see: "Startup processes" on
page127). This option is not available for self-replicating processes and error processes.
The order in which the Startup processes are arranged in the Configuration Components
pane determines, from top to bottom, the order in which the Startup processes are
executed when the Workflow Service launches. To change the order you may drag and
drop them (see "Moving and copying configuration components" on page860).
l
Self Replicating: Check this if you want the process to replicate itself in the background
when multiple input files are received simultaneously. When this is checked, the input
task polls its source once, determines the number of files to process, then replicates itself
up to the maximum allowed and treats the files simultaneously. The initial process runs
again once it has completed itself and replicates again as necessary, until all files have
been processed.
l
Max percentage of threading (%): Determines how many processes you may have
running at the same time. This is a percentage of the maximum number of threads
specified in the "Messenger plugin preferences" on page810. For example if the
maximum number of threads is 10 and you specify 50% here, a maximum of 5 replications
will occur (the original process + 4 copies).
l
As soon as possible: Select to have the process run continuously. Clear to enable the
Time Grid to fine-tune the schedule of the process.
l
Day(s) to keep backup: Indicate the number of days to keep backups of jobs processed
by input tasks. Note that backups will only be kept for those input tasks that have the
Keep backup file option selected and that they are required to resubmit input files.
l
Polling interval: Enter the frequency (in seconds) at which the process should verify if
there are new jobs to process. The polling interval also applies to scheduled tasks that
only run on certain times. For example, if your process polls every 30 seconds on a task
