Output
The original data file, metadata and job infos are not modified, they are passed on to the next
task.
Properties
General tab
l
Folder: Enter the path of the folder to which the files are to be saved.
l
File name: Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. To prevent each new
file from overwriting the previous one, you should use variable names. As with any
variable property box, you can use any combination of text, variables and data selections.
l
Concatenate files: If this option is selected, when PlanetPress Workflow tries to save a
file under a given name, if a file under that same name already exists, instead of
overwriting it, PlanetPress Workflow will append the content of the new file to that of the
existing file. This appending process will go on until the file is removed from the folder.
l
Separator string: This option is used to add a separator string between the content of
each file when the Concatenate files option is selected.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on pageξ731.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be
ignored, and the task just under it (not within a branch)ξwill be given control of the job file
without any modification. Any initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from
running as a whole, and output tasks will not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to
overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l
Error Process drop-down:ξEnabled only when the Send to Process option is checked.
Lists any process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l Action:ξIn the initial input tasks, this group is disabled and defaults to Stop Process. In
all other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
