Task properties
General Tab
l
PDC File: Select either an un-compiled PReS Classic script file (PDS) which will need to
be compiled on the fly, or a pre-compiled PReS Classic job file (PDC).
The job needs to be specified exactly. If you want to compile the job at run time, then you
must select a PDS file. If you wish to use a pre-compiled PReS Classic job, then select
the PDC file, rather than the PDS.
If a PReS Classic script file (PDS) is selected, Connect Workflow will use PReS Classic
to compile the selected file and then run the resultant PDC file, regardless of whether
there was an existing PDC file within the folder already. Any existing PDC file in that
folder will be overwritten by the new compilation.
Note that the PDS or PDC file can be explicitly selected, or it could be set via a Connect
Workflow variable; see "Variable task properties" on page303.
Note
The use of pre-compiled PReS Classic jobs is heavily recommended, as this
greatly reduces the scope for run-time errors.
l
Data File: The data file to use in the run. This file can be explicitly selected, or it could be
set via a Connect Workflow variable; see "Variable task properties" on page303.
Note
Note: If the Data File selection does not include the data file folder path, then the
folder entered into the Working Folder entry will be used for determining the path.
l
Working Folder: Select the folder that contains the PReS Classic job and associated
resources.
This entry can either be explicitly selected or it could be set via Connect Workflow
variable; see "Variable task properties" on page303.
If the PDC File selection contains a full folder path along with the filename, then the
Working Folder does not need to be selected, as Connect Workflow will use the path
contained in the PDC File entry.
