l Default:By default, the task is ignored as if it did not exist and the error is logged
before continuing the branch or process; the job file is passed on to the next task in
the process. When an error occurs in a loop (or in a plugin that acts like a loop), the
loop may log the error, terminate the current iteration and proceed with the next
iteration.
l Stop Branch:If the task is in a branch of the process, the branch is stopped and the
job file is returned to the process after the branch. The branch will not produce any
output. If the task is not on a branch, the entire process will be stopped.
l Stop Process:The process is stopped and no more processing is done. No further
output is produced.
l Log Message:Check this option to enable logging a custom error message in the
PlanetPress Workflow log file and in the Windows Application Events.
l
Message:Enabled only when the Log Message option is checked. Enter a message that
will be logged in the PlanetPress Workflow log file. You can use any variables available
in PlanetPress Workflow to customize the message.
l
Store the message in variable:Select in which jobinfo, local or global variable you
want to store the message content.
l
ID:Enter an error ID. This IDwill be visible in the Windows Event Viewer. However, the
IDis not visible in the PlanetPress Workflow log file.
l
Store the IDin variable:Select in which jobinfo, local or global variable you want to
store the error ID.
l Reset to defaults:Resets all options in this tab to their default values.
When storing the message or ID, if they are stored in a jobinfo they will be available in any
error handling process where errors are being forwarded. If your process continues after the
error, the contents of the variables selected in this window will be available to the rest of your
process, or as long as they are not overwritten.
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.
