Tip
The Data Repository Manager displays, at the bottom left, the syntax used for accessing
a specific value.
Note
Lookup()returns NODATA when the group and/or key does not exist.
In previous versions of the software, trying to do a look-up in a non-existent group and/or
key would cause an error. This change in behavior may affect any Workflow configuration
that uses an on error process related to invalid groups/keys.
Scripts
In a script you can access the Data Repository using the "Data Repository API" on page172.
For a quick start, turn to this How-to: Interacting with the Data Repository API.
Data Repository Manager
At design-time, the Data Repository Manager may be used to insert or remove Groups, Keys
and KeySets; see "Data Repository Manager" on page839.
Where to find the Data Repository
In case the Repository contains valuable information that must not be lost in case of a hardware
failure, create a backup of the repository.
By default, the Data Repository is located in the following folder:
%ProgramData%\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8\PlanetPress Watch\Repository.
It is also possible to create a Repository at a custom location; see ConnectionString.
Debugging and error handling
This chapter touches on two subjects that are intrinsically linked, though their use is different.
