Saving a configuration
Files created and edited using PlanetPress Workflow can be saved as PlanetPress Workflow con-
figuration files anywhere on your computer or even a network location.
To save the current configuration:
l
From the PlanetPress button, choose Save.
l
If you were editing the current PlanetPress Watch service configuration or if you were editing a
new configuration file, you are prompted with the Save As dialog instead.
To save the current configuration under a new name:
l
From the PlanetPress button, choose Save As.
l
Browse to the location where you wanted to save the file, enter the new name of the configuration
in the File name box and click Save.
Sending a configuration
PlanetPress Workflow Configuration saves entire configurations in the form of a single file. Like any
other file, configuration files may be saved and reopened, as well as renamed as desired. Simply sav-
ing a configuration has no effect on the configuration actually used by the PlanetPress Workflow when
it is started. To change any currently active configuration, you must use the Send Configuration com-
mand.
When you use the Send command, the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program uses the currently
opened configuration (Any_name.OL-workflow) to overwrite the PlanetPress Workflow Service's cur-
rent configuration (ppwatch.cfg).
Note: .OL-workflow files are equivalent to .pp7 files made with older versions of PlanetPress
Workflow. They contain the processes and such used by Workflow.
If the PlanetPress Workflow Service is running when you send a new configuration, it stops and restarts
automatically with the new configuration. If the service is stopped before sending the configuration, it
will not restart automatically.
Note: When you send a configuration to your PlanetPress Workflow service, all its active pro-
cesses are applied; see also:"Activating or deactivating a process" on page110.
Sending a Configuration to the local server
1. Open the configuration you want to use as PlanetPress Workflow’s new configuration.
2. Edit the configuration, if required.
