l Type in the new name of the variable, then press Enter on your keyboard.
While renaming a variable will correctly rename all references to it in task properties or wherever else it is
used in a task, it will not change the references in any script within a Run Script task. Deleting a variable,
on the other hand, does not delete any reference to it. In both the case where a script refers to a variable and
it is renamed, or in the case of deleting a variable, any task or script that refers to it will cease to function and
will generate an error.
You can set the value of a variable within your process in two ways:
l
Use the Set Job Info and Variable action task. See "Set Job Infos and Variables" on page312.
l
You can use Scripts. See the chapter "Using Scripts" on page81.
Variables may be used as variable properties in variable property boxes (see Variable Properties).
Activate or Deactivate a Process
All processes are Active by default, but you may make any PlanetPress Workflow process Inactive as
required. Because making a process active or inactive is a change in the configuration, to make the change
effective you will have to send the edited configuration to your PlanetPress Workflow service (See "Send
your Configuration" on page11).
To activate or deactivate a process:
1.
Right-click the process in question in the Configuration Components pane
2. Click Active to disable or enable the process.
3. Send your configuration.
Note
If you try to send a configuration that contains only inactive processes, the PlanetPress Workflow
Configuration program will ask you to confirm the operation (this can be changed in the Notification
User Options).
