Warning
The From page and To page boxes are only useful for Printer Queue (or printer
capture) Input tasks. They will not function for other types of inputs. In these cases,
the complete backup job is submitted.
6.
Click Send to resubmit the data.
7. To resubmit backed up input files for the same process or for a different one, repeat step 2
to step 6.
8.
To close the File Resubmission dialog box, click Close.
Knowing what to resubmit
When something goes wrong with an output job, a print job for instance, and printouts are lost,
you need to know the name of the job in order to resubmit the input. This refers to the name
used internally by PReS Workflow and generated by the Input task using parameters defined
within the task. The name of the job file can be found in the logs (see "The PReS Workflow
Service Console" on page624). To simplify file identification, you should consider using names
that include both the name of the original input file (if any) plus some details such as the current
date and time.
In addition it may be useful to know the number of each failed page. If a job contains 1000
documents and if documents 1 to 950 were printed correctly, you might not need to resubmit the
entire job, but only the input data for the 50 last documents. However this is only useful if the
relationship between the input data and actual output documents is easy to determine.
For help on how to include (data) page numbers in a PlanetPress Suite Design document, or
page numbers in a Connect template, please see PlanetPress Design User Guide or Connect
Online Help, respectively.
Debugging your PReS Workflow process
After designing a process, which is to add the different tasks, branches and conditions to the
process and configuring them (see "About processes and subprocesses" on page107), you
can test whether or not the process and configuration actually work.
Once you have created and fully debugged all your processes, you will be ready to send it to
PReS Workflow service. See "Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration" on page119.
