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289.
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289.
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.
Note: If the PDC File selection contains a folder path and the Working Folder also has an
entry, then the PDC File entry will be appended to the Working Folder entry.
One should be very cautious doing this, as it could easily lead to errors.
l
PDL Type: Select the desired PReS Classic output type for the job.
Note: Not all PReS Classic jobs can be swapped between output types. Jobs designed for
certain output types (such as AFPDS) will likely have settings specific to the original output
type.
Changing the output type at this point will likely lead to errors or require job modifications to
suit the changed output type.
l
Log level: Specifies the verboseness of messages returned by job processing. The available
levels are Error, Warning, Information and Debug.
Connect Workflow logs a successful PReS Classic job processing with a “Job Status: Finished”
status, followed shortly after by “Exec Status: 1”.
A successful PReS Classic job usually returns a zero value, but non-zero return values do not
necessarily signal job failure, as PReS Classic jobs can be set to return specific values as part of
job processing.
If the job still finishes with a Job Status of “Finished” and Exec Status “1” then the job completed
without error.
