Common Errors
Though some error messages are specific to a task in particular, others may apply to any and all tasks
because they are related more to the system than to PReS itself. Some examples would be W3813, W3830,
W3991, W4005. These correspond to issues such as not having any space to write files, permission errors
on folders or files, etc.
Comments Tab
The Comments tab, added in PReS Suite 7.5, is common to all tasks. It contains a single 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.
FTP Output
FTP Output tasks send job files to other computers using the FTP protocol. It is similar to the Sent To
Folder output task but sends to an FTPconnection instead of a local drive.
The following describes the properties specific to FTP Output tasks. Note that some FTP settings used for
all FTP Output tasks are available via the PReS Workflow user options (See "FTP Output Service User
Options" on page 571).
