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 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.
Generic Splitter
The Generic Splitter is a legacy task which is kept for backwards compatibility purpose. In previous
versions of PlanetPress Workflow, it was the only splitter available. While this splitter seems to have more
options than the other ones, this is only because it contains combined features from these other splitters.
Warning
The Generic Splitter, while seemingly more feature-rich, is slower than the other splitters by an order
of magnitude. Whenever encountering the Generic Splitter, it is always recommended to replace it
with a more appropriate splitter instead.
Input
Any data file.
Processing
The file is separated into multiple chunks according to the rules set in the task's properties.
Output
Multiple data files, sent one after the other to the rest of the tasks in the process. Metadata, job infos and user
variables are not modified by this task.
