the process. When an error occurs in a loop (or in a plugin that acts like a loop), the
loop may log the error, terminate the current iteration and proceed with the next
iteration.
l
Stop Branch: If the task is in a branch of the process, the branch is stopped and the
job file is returned to the process after the branch. The branch will not produce any
output. If the task is not on a branch, the entire process will be stopped.
l
Stop Process: The process is stopped and no more processing is done. No further
output is produced.
l
Log Message: Check this option to enable logging a custom error message in the
PlanetPress Workflow log file and in the Windows Application Events.
l
Message: Enabled only when the Log Message option is checked. Enter a message that
will be logged in the PlanetPress Workflow log file. You can use any variables available
in PlanetPress Workflow to customize the message.
l
Store the message in variable: Select in which jobinfo, local or global variable you
want to store the message content.
l
ID: Enter an error ID. This ID will be visible in the Windows Event Viewer. However, the
ID is not visible in the PlanetPress Workflow log file.

store the error ID.
l
Reset to defaults: Resets all options in this tab to their default values.
When storing the message or ID, if they are stored in a jobinfo they will be available in any
error handling process where errors are being forwarded. If your process continues after the
error, the contents of the variables selected in this window will be available to the rest of your
process, or as long as they are not overwritten.
All error codes are listed in the knowledge base of PlanetPress Workflow. Though some error

Creating and using Error processes
