To add a PlanetPress Workflow startup process:
l
In the Ribbon, go to the Home tab and click the Startup Process button in the
Processes group.
l
In the Configuration Components pane, right-click on any process or the Processes
folder and select Insert Startup Process.
Note
You can only have one Startup Process in any given configuration and cannot add more.
Considerations
l While your configuration is limited to a maximum of 512 processes, any given process
can have as many tasks as necessary.
l A given process may include output tasks that generate files used by input tasks from
other processes.
l When you send a configuration to your PlanetPress Workflow service, all its active
processes are applied.
l Each process’ schedule determines when its initial input task can be performed.
l Other tasks included in the process are performed regardless of schedule, granted that
the previous task was performed.
Send your 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 rename as desired.
Simply saving 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 command.
When you use the Send command, the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program uses the
currently opened configuration (Any_name.pw7) to overwrite PlanetPress Workflow service's
current configuration (ppwatch.cfg).
