Python
In Python, the raise statement is similar to JavaScript and will stop processing unless an
except statement is used. See the python documentation.
s = Watch.GetJobInfo(9)
if not s:
raise NameError('Value cannot be empty')
else:
# Do something with Job Info 9!
Watch.Log("Job Info 9's value is: " + s,5)
Perl
In PERL, die() raises an exception and triggers the On Error tab, unless the unless command
is used. See the perl documentation.
$s = $Watch->GetJobInfo(9);
if (s = "") {
die "Value cannot be empty";
} else {
# Do something with Job Info 9!
$Watch->Log("Job Info 9's value is: " . $s,4);
}
Special Workflow Types
PlanetPress Workflow supports multiple input and output types, in so many different
combinations that it would be hard to give example processes for each possibility. However,
some types of processes like PDF, HTTPand SOAP are important enough to pay some
attention to them.
This chapter will describe each of these special workflow types and give at least one example
of an implementation that uses them.
Special Workflows
PDFWorkflow
APDFworkflow uses a PDFas it's job file and manipulations are generally made in the
Metadata instead of the PDFitself, since PDFfiles are much larger than most other data files
