Properties
General tab
l
Number of iterations: The number of times the loop should be repeated. Every task after
the Loop action task will be repeated this number of times. The number may be static, or
use a variables (See Variable Properties).
l
Store current iteration in Job Info #: The Job Info in which the loop's iteration should be
stored. Useful for sequential file names or conditions based on the iteration. The value of
this Variable Properties box should be a digit between 1 and 9.
l Use value of Variable/JobInfo # expression:If the contents of the previous option is a
variable, it's content (which is assumed to be a number between 1 and 9) will be used to
determine which job info number to use for the iteration number. For example if %
{myvariable} is used and contains the value 9, then Job Info 9 will store the value of the
loop's iteration.
l
Use original Data Stream every time: Select to reuse the original job file received by the
Loop action task at every iteration. If this option is not selected and if the process ends
with Printer Queue Output task, for example, the second time the Loop action task will
be performed, it will use the PostScript file generated by the output task.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page731.
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)will 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:Enabled 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:In 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:
