Saving and Sending a Configuration
The core of the PlanetPressSuite workflow tools is the PlanetPress Watch service which, once
started, constantly runs in the background to perform the tasks included in its current
configuration file. PlanetPress Workflow lets you create, edit and save configuration files.
As you are working on your configuration, you can save that configuration file as a file on your
local hard drive.
Saving a configuration file never replaces the current PlanetPress Watch service configuration.
To do this, you must use the Send Configuration command.
Saving a Configuration
Files created and edited using PlanetPress Workflow can be saved as PlanetPress Workflow
configuration files anywhere on your computer or even a network location.
To save the current configuration:
l
From the PlanetPress button, choose Save.
l If you were editing the current PlanetPressWatch service configuration or if you were
editing a new configuration file, you are prompted with the Save As dialog instead.
To save the current configuration under a new name:
l
From the PlanetPress button, choose Save As.
l Browse to the location where you wanted to save the file, enter the new name of the
configuration in the File name box and click Save.
Sending a Configuration
PlanetPress Workflow Configuration saves entire configurations in the form of a single file. Like
any other file, configuration files may be saved and reopened, as well as rename as desired.
Simply saving a configuration has no effect on the configuration actually used by the
PlanetPress Workflowwhen it is started. To change any currently active configuration, you must
use the Send Configuration command.
