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 text area (Task comments)that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
SMTP Input
SMTPinput tasks are used to receive SMTP requests made by any email client or other
SMTPcommands and can act as an SMTPproxy, processing emails before they are sent to
another SMTPserver. In order for this task to receive files, the SMTPServer (also called
"Outgoing Email Server")in the email client must point to PlanetPress Workflow server's IPor
hostname.
Warning
Emails received through this task will not reach their intended destination if the process
does not end with a Send Email Output Task, or contain the PlanetPress Connect
"Create Email Content" on page530 task.
Input
The SMTPInput task does not, by itself, capture any files. Neither does it directly wait for
requests to be received. Actually, it is the SMTPServer service that receives the requests and
places them in a specific location on the drive. When a request is received, the SMTP Input
polls that location and finds the requests and all attachments. It will always pick up the
"oldest"request received.
