Create a New Process
You can create a new process in a two different ways:
l
In the Ribbon, go to the Home tab and click the Process button in the Processes group.
l
In the Configuration Components pane, right-click on any process or the Processes folder and
select Insert Process.
Regardless of the method, a new process is created with a default name (Process1, Process2, etc), Input
Task and Output Task. The defaults are configurable in the "Default Configuration Behavior Preferences"
on page 547 screen. The same methods can be used to create a new Startup process.
To add a PReS Workflow startup process:
l
In the Ribbon, go to the Home tab and click the Startup Process button in the Processes group.
l
In the Configuration Components pane, right-click on any process or the Processes folder and
select Insert Startup Process.
Note
You can only have one Startup Process in any given configuration and cannot add more.
Considerations
l While your configuration is limited to a maximum of 512 processes, any given process can have as
many tasks as necessary.
l A given process may include output tasks that generate files used by input tasks from other processes.
l When you send a configuration to your PReS Workflow service, all its active processes are applied.
l Each process’ schedule determines when its initial input task can be performed.
l Other tasks included in the process are performed regardless of schedule, granted that the previous
task was performed.
