The "On Error"tab that is common to almost all tasks contain the following options:
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked.
Lists any process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l Action Group:This group is disabled in the initial input tasks and defaults to Stop
Process. In all other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are
available:
l Ignore:The task is ignored as if it did not exist, and the job file is passed on to the
next task in the process.
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.
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
PlanetPress Workflow' log file.
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 ID:Select the error IDyou want to attribute to the error log.
l Reset to defaults:Resets all options in this tab to their default values.
The error management system(the On errortab and the Error Bin Inputtask), however, are
only triggered when there is an error within the task functionality - that is, a plugin error. These
kinds of errors are triggers if the plugin cannot communicate with a service, another task, if the
plugin crashes, etc.
Cutting, Copying and Pasting Tasks and Branches
Using cut and paste, and copy and paste, you can move as well as duplicate tasks and
branches within a given process as well as between different processes.
