XML emulation options
l
Cache XML data: When this option is selected, PReS Workflow Server only reloads the
data if the size or modified date of the XML file changes. When this option is not selected,
the XML data will be reloaded into memory every time that a plugin works on the data file.
Caching the XML data will make subsequent tasks run faster (as loading an XML file can
take a long time) but will also use up more memory since that memory isn't released in
between tasks. For single runs the performance gain is less noticeable than in loops
(either through a splitter, a Loop task or a Metadata filter) where the XML file would be
loaded repeatedly.
For information about XML emulation options in PlanetPress Design documents, see the
PlanetPress Design user guide.
Sample Data
This topic covers issues relating to the sample data used in your PReS Workflow configuration.
A sample data file makes it possible to:
l Create a process that retrieves dynamic data from a data file. Once a sample data file is
available, you can use it to make data selections in a process (see "Data selections" on
page47).
l Debug a process (see "Debugging your PReS Workflow process" on page88).
