About data emulation
An emulation specifies how to interpret a data file. It is basically the method through which PlanetPress
Workflow parses and displays the data. If the emulation is set to CSV (comma separated values), for
instance, commas encountered in the data will typically be considered as value separators. The way
data selections are made depends on the emulation (see "Data selections" on page49).
Every Workflow process has its own data emulation setting, which depends on the sample data file you
choose.
A process's data emulation is only visible in the Workflow configuration tool when using the Data
Selector e.g. to select a sample data file, but it is always set to one (Line Printer, by default).
A process's emulation can be changed either by choosing another sample data file (see "Choosing a
sample data file" on page63) or by inserting a "Change Emulation" on page361 task in the process.
Changing the emulation is particularly important if you want to make a data selection in a file after it has
been changed to another format (see "Data selections" on page49).
Note: Even during debugging, selecting a sample data file with a different format will cause the
emulation of a process to change. In order to avoid errors, change the emulation back to the
format of the original input file before using the process again.
Stabilizing data
All emulations, except the database, PDF and XML emulations, let you perform operations on the data
to stabilize it. The following options are available in both the "Change Emulation" on page361 task and
"The Data Selector" on page713.
