About Configurations
PlanetPress Workflow configuration files are defined as a set of processes, subprocesses,
variables, documents and printer queues, that work together within PlanetPress Workflow
Service.
PlanetPress Workflow cannot work without a valid configuration and a PlanetPress Workflow
session running on a given computer can only use one configuration at a time. Once you have
created a configuration, you must “send” it to the PlanetPress Workflow Service. When you do
this, your PlanetPress Workflow forgets its previous configuration and starts executing the tasks
included in the new configuration.
Note
A PlanetPress Workflow configuration must be composed of at least one process, but it
may include as many as 512.
For a configuration created in PlanetPress Workflow Configuration to actually be executed by
PlanetPress Workflow, it must be sent to its PlanetPress Workflow service.
See the following pages for information on different parts of PlanetPress Workflow
Configuration:
l For information about Processes and Subprocesses, see "About Processes and
Subprocesses" on page81.
l For information about Global Variables, see "Working With Variables" on page599.
Create a New Configuration
When you start PlanetPress Workflow, it always opens the configuration file that is active on the
PlanetPress Watch service. If you create a new configuration, PlanetPress Workflow
automatically creates a process that includes a "Folder Capture" on page205 initial input task
and a "Send to Folder" on page596 output task. You can then edit and save your new
configuration.
