Properties
Backup Tab
l
Backup job file: Select if you want PlanetPress Workflow to use identical copies of the
job file for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not selected, the file
generated by the output task located at the end of the secondary branch is used as the job
file for the main branch. Note that if the secondary branch ends with a Delete output task,
the main branch will not receive any job file. If the secondary branch includes a splitter
task, the main branch will receive the last part of the job file (as split by the splitter task). If
the secondary branch ends with a PlanetPress Fax or PlanetPress Image output task,
the main branch will receive a PostScript file.
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 page723.
