l
Backup job information: Select if you want PlanetPress Workflow to use identical copies of the job
file information for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not selected, the job file
information that reaches the output task located at the end of the secondary branch is used for the
main branch. Any modification performed on the secondary branch thus has an impact on the main
branch.
l
Backup emulation: Select if you want PlanetPress Workflow to use the emulation selected when the
job file reaches the secondary branch for the main branch as well. When this option is not selected, the
emulation selected when the job file reaches the output task located at the end of the secondary
branch is used for the main branch. If the secondary branch includes a secondary input task or a
Change Emulation action task, then the last emulation selected in the secondary branch will be the
one used for the main branch.
l
Backup local variables: Select if you want PlanetPress Workflow to use identical copies of the local
variables for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not selected, the local variables
that reaches the output task located at the end of the secondary branch is used for the main branch.
Any modification performed on the secondary branch thus has an impact on the main branch.
In case of the failure of a Branch task (the branch itself, not the other tasks contained within), by default the
process will ignore the branch and simply go down the main trunk. You can overwrite this in the On Error
tab.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog" on page666.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l
Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked. Lists any
process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l Action Group:This group is disabled in the initial input tasks and defaults to Stop Process. In all
other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
l Ignore:The task is ignored as if it did not exist, and the job file is passed on to the next task in
the process.
