Note
Lookup()returns NODATA when the group and/or key does not exist.
In previous versions of the software, trying to do a look-up in a non-existent group and/or key
would cause an error. This change in behavior may affect any Workflow configuration that uses an
on error process related to invalid groups/keys.
Scripts
In a script you can access the Data Repository using the "Data Repository API" on page152.
For a quick start, turn to this How-to: Interacting with the Data Repository API.
Data Repository Manager
At design-time, the Data Repository Manager may be used to insert or remove Groups, Keys
and KeySets; see "Data Repository Manager" on page606.
Where to find the Data Repository
In case the Repository contains valuable information that must not be lost in case of a hardware
failure, create a backup of the repository.
By default, the Data Repository is located in the following folder:
%ProgramData%\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress Workflow 8\PlanetPress Watch\Repository.
It is also possible to create a Repository at a custom location; see ConnectionString.
Debugging and error handling
This chapter touches on two subjects that are intrinsically linked, though their use is different.
Debugging is the act of running through your process, either step by step or as a whole,
directly from the PReS Workflow Configuration tool, in order to detect and resolve issues with
your process.
