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.
SNMP Condition
SNMPis a communication protocol for helping network administrators manage devices and
peripherals on their network. It is useful for verifying the status of network printers, as you can
retrieve error and other status messages that printers send out, such as being out of paper or
having low toner.
PlanetPress Workflow uses the SNMPprotocol in the form of an SNMPCondition, in to
ways:
l To check the status of printers on your network against values you set in a condition, and
to return a true or false value. This is called setting a Printer condition in the
SNMPcondition's Properties dialog box.
l To check different values of printers or other SNMPcompatible devices against
conditions you set, to return a true or false value. This is called setting a User defined
condition in the SNMPcondition's Properties dialog box. You indicate what is called
management information bases (MIB)and object identifiers (OID)that are extensible and
can be vendor specific.
