Important considerations
l When importing a PReS Workflow configuration file, resource files like Connect
templates, PlanetPress Design documents and PrintShop Mail documents are not
physically imported as they are not part of the configuration file itself. In order for the
documents to be available, you will need to send each document from Connect Designer,
PlanetPress Design or PrintShop Mail (see their respective documentation for details).
l
If you import a PReS Workflow configuration that contains a PReS Fax output task, you
must update the task’s properties and refresh the host name. Otherwise, when PReS
Workflow will attempt to output the file, an error will be generated.
Activating or deactivating a process
All processes are Active by default, but you may make any PReS Workflow process Inactive as
required.
An inactive process will display in the Configuration components as red and strike-through.
Inactive processes can be useful for designing new processes in a live configuration. As the
process does not execute there is no danger of submitting it to a PReS Workflow Service.
To activate or deactivate a process:
1.
Right-click the process in question in the Configuration Components pane
2.
Click Active to disable or enable the process.
3. Send your configuration.
Because making a process active or inactive is a change in the configuration, to make the
change effective in the PReS Workflow Service, you will have to send the edited configuration
to your PReS Workflow Service (see "Sending a configuration" on page120).
Note
If you try to send a configuration that contains only inactive processes, the PReS
Workflow Configuration program will ask you to confirm the operation (this can be
changed in the Notification User Options).
