On Error Tab
For a description of the options on the On Error tab see "Using the On Error tab" on page92.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets you write comments about the task. These
comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OK button and are displayed in the
Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
The tab also provides an option to highlight the task in "The Process area" on page829 with
the default color, set in the Preferences (see "General appearance preferences" on page716),
or the color selected or defined under Highlight color on this tab.
To revert the selected highlight color to the default color, open this tab, turn the Highlight option
off and close the dialog with the OK button; then turn highlighting back on.
Highlighting can also be turned on and off via the task's contextual menu and with the Highlight
button on the View ribbon.
FTP Input
FTP Input tasks retrieve files from FTP sites using the FTP protocol. Masks are typically used
to select multiple files to be retrieved from the server.
Input
FTP Input connects to the specified FTP server and path, and retrieves all files corresponding
to the specified mask. These files may be of any format, even formats that are not readable by
PReS Workflow.
Processing
Each file capture by the input is sent down through the process, one at a time. When the file is
finished, the process goes back to the input which feeds another file down, as long as there are
files in the queue. Once all the files are gone, the task polls the FTP folder again to see if new
files are present and, if so, the process continues with these files. Otherwise, the process ends.
