When the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program sends a configuration, the PlanetPress
Workflow service is stopped and restarted, if it is currently running, and the new configuration
starts being applied immediately.
If a file different from the default configuration file is currently opened, and if it includes unsaved
modifications, the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program asks you whether to save the
configuration before exiting. Select the Always save without prompting for confirmation option
to automatically save any unsaved work before exiting.
About Related Programs and Services
Services are programs that run in the background and automatically perform tasks that often do
not require any user interaction. With the exception of PlanetPress Workflow Configuration, all
the programs used by PlanetPress Workflow are run as service applications. PlanetPress
Workflow can thus use them as required without the need for any user interaction.
Although you can manually start and stop any service running on your computer, most of the
basic services used by the system are started and stopped automatically. In the case of
PlanetPress Workflow and their related services, you typically use a command included in your
PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program to start and stop most services. Opening and
closing your PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program has no effect on these services.
Available Input Services
Input services are used to pull in data files. The input services used by PlanetPress Workflow
are:
l LPD (Line Printer Daemon) Input service: Inputs data sent from an LPR client. The
LPD/LPR printing protocol is a common way to send print jobs that, in turn, use the
TCP/IP protocol to communicate through the network.
l PrintShop Mail Web Capture service: Monitors print requests from a PrintShop Web
server.
l Serial Input service: Monitors a single serial port for incoming data. Note that all Serial
input tasks use the same serial port (set in the user options of the PlanetPress Workflow
Configuration program).
l Telnet Input service: Monitors multiple telnet ports for incoming data. Note that each
Telnet input task has its own telnet port number (set in each task).
