In either case, the called process will ignore the input task along with its Job Info variables and
schedule, and use the job file, Job Info variables, and Metadata from the current process.
Note that a process called through the Send To Process plugin will not self-replicate, even if
the process' preferences specify that it should. The initial Input task is being bypassed, and
since it's the Input task that initiates the self-replication procedure, self-replication cannot occur.
Task properties

l
Process: The name of the target process to send the current job to. Note that startup
processes and subprocesses are not available. You can either enter the name of a
process (or use variable properties) or use the drop-down to list existing processes.

The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
SNMP Condition
SNMP is a communication protocol for helping network administrators manage devices and
peripherals on their network. It is useful for verifying the status of network printers, as you can
retrieve error and other status messages that printers send out, such as being out of paper or
having low toner.
PlanetPress Workflow uses the SNMP protocol in the form of an SNMP Condition, in two ways:
l To check the status of printers on your network against values you set in a condition, and
to return a true or false value. This is called setting a Printer condition in the SNMP
condition's Properties dialog box.
l To check different values of printers or other SNMP compatible devices against
conditions you set, to return a true or false value. This is called setting a User defined
condition in the SNMP condition's Properties dialog box. You indicate what is called
management information bases (MIB) and object identifiers (OID) that are extensible and
can be vendor specific.
