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332.
l
You can use Scripts. See the chapter "Using Scripts" on page87.
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14).
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).
