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.
Send Email
The Send Email output task send the data files it receives via email.
Technical
In some combinations of Microsoft Outlook and Windows versions, it is not possible for Outlook to be
opened while PlanetPress Workflow is running, so emails are not sent out automatically. To correct
this, make sure to logon to Windows on the PlanetPress Workflow server using the same login that
PlanetPress Workflow is using, and open Outlook before starting the PlanetPress Workflow services.
You could also use a startup process to start Outlook before the rest of the services.
Input
Any data file.
Processing
While an email is always sent by this task (or at least attempted to be sent), the contents of the file and
presence of attachments depends on the selected option. Refer to the properties' descriptions below to
know what each option does.
Once the contents of the file and attachments is determined, the email (and attachments)is either sent
directly to the selected SMTPserver, or is deposited in the "Outbox"folder of the local Microsoft Outlook
account.
