If the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved modifications, the PlanetPress
Workflow Configuration program asks you whether to send the configuration to the PlanetPress Workflow
service before exiting. Select the Always send without prompting for confirmation option to automatically
send the edited version of the configuration before exiting.
If the default configuration does not include any active process, the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration
program asks you whether to continue.
When the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program sends a configuration, the PlanetPress Workflow
service is stopped and restarted, if it is currently running, and the new configuration starts being applied
immediately.
If a file different from the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved
modifications, the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program asks you whether to save the configuration
before exiting. Select the Always save without prompting for confirmation option to automatically save any
unsaved work before exiting.
About Related Programs and Services
Services are programs that run in the background and automatically perform tasks that often do not require
any user interaction. With the exception of PlanetPress Workflow Configuration, all the programs used by
PlanetPress Workflow are run as service applications. PlanetPress Workflow can thus use them as required
without the need for any user interaction.
Although you can manually start and stop any service running on your computer, most of the basic services
used by the system are started and stopped automatically. In the case of PlanetPress Workflow and their
related services, you typically use a command included in your PlanetPress Workflow Configuration
program to start and stop most services. Opening and closing your PlanetPress Workflow Configuration
program has no effect on these services.
Available Input Services
Input services are used to pull in data files. The input services used by PlanetPress Workflow are:
l LPD (Line Printer Daemon) Input service: Inputs data sent from an LPR client. The LPD/LPR
printing protocol is a common way to send print jobs that, in turn, use the TCP/IP protocol to
communicate through the network.
