visible in the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools' log file.
l Store the IDin variable:Select in which jobinfo, local or global variable you want to store the error ID.
l Reset to defaults:Resets all options in this tab to their default values.
If storing the message or ID, if they are store in a jobinfo they will be available in any error handling process
where errors are being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the
variables selected in this window will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are
overwritten.
Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks
because they are related more to the system than to PlanetPress itself. Some examples would be W3813,
W3830, W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission
errors on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab, added in PlanetPress Suite 7.5, is common to all tasks. It contains a single text area
(Task comments)that lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog
is closed with the OKbutton, and are displayed in The Task Comments Pane.
Advanced Search and Replace
Advanced Search and Replace action tasks are used to locate and replace strings of data within the job
file and to replace them with other strings of data. Contrary to Search and Replace action tasks, they allow
the use of regular expressions.
Using regular expressions, it is possible to search for patterns rather than specific strings. For instance, a
pattern can be specified to find all valid email addresses or phone numbers within the data stream.
Input
Any text-based file can be used in this task, even formats that are not directly compatible with PlanetPress
Workflow. As long as the text is visible in a text-based editor (such as Notepad), it is readable and supported
by this task.
Processing
The appropriate changes are made to the data file (replacing text).
