error, the contents of the variables selected in this window will be available to the rest of your
process, or as long as they are not overwritten.
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.
Input SOAP
The Input SOAP task is used to answer calls from a remote SOAPclient and to return a
response to that request. It is similar in functionality to the "HTTP Server Input" on page214
task.
Input
This task does not poll any location by itself. It sits there waiting for requests coming in through
WSDL(SOAPcommunication)and, when it receives a request, runs the process and returns
the last output generated by the process to the client.
Processing
No processing is done. The request that is received by this task is XML and it is maintained as
such.
Output
As with the HTTPServer Input, this task has a dual-output purpose. First, when the initial input
task is run, the XMLrequest is output onto the process. Then, when the process is finished, the
last job file generated by the process is returned to the requesting client.
