Start and Stop PlanetPress Workflow Service
As with most Windows services, PlanetPress Workflow can be started and stopped
automatically when a Windows session is opened and closed. The other option is to start, stop
or pause PlanetPress Workflow manually using the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration
program.
Note
The current PlanetPress Workflow status is always displayed in the lower-right corner of
the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program window.
To start PlanetPress Workflow services via PlanetPress Workflow Configuration
program:
1. Click Tools in the PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon.
2.
Click Start Service in the Services Status group. A progress bar is displayed while your
PlanetPress Workflow is being started.
To stop your PlanetPress Workflow services via PlanetPress Workflow Configuration
program:
1. Click Tools in the PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon.
2. Click Stop Service in the Services Status group.
When you stop or pause PlanetPress Workflow, it immediately stops bringing new files
into its processes, but it keeps on performing tasks until all the files which are currently
under process have been completely processed.
