l
File name: Enter the name of the output files generated by this task. To prevent each new file from
overwriting the previous one, you should use variable names. As with any variable property box, you
can use any combination of text, variables and data selections.
l
Concatenate files: If this option is selected, when PReS Workflow tries to save a file under a given
name, if a file under that same name already exists, instead of overwriting it, PReS Workflow will
append the content of the new file to that of the existing file. This appending process will go on until
the file is removed from the folder.
l
Separator string: This option is used to add a separator string between the content of each file when
the Concatenate files option is selected.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog" on page663.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to overwrite the default behaviors.
l Send to Process: Check this option to send the job file to an error management process.
l
Error Process drop-down:Enabled only when the Send to Process option is checked. Lists any
process of which the initial input task is the Input Error Bin task.
l Action Group:This group is disabled in the initial input tasks and defaults to Stop Process. In all
other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
l Ignore:The task is ignored as if it did not exist, and the job file is passed on to the next task in
the process.
l Stop Branch:If the task is in a branch of the process, the branch is stopped and the job file is
returned to the process after the branch. The branch will not produce any output.
l Stop Process:The process is stopped and no more processing is done. No further output is
produced.
l
Log Message:Check this option to enable logging a custom error message in the PReS Suite
Workflow Tools' log file.
l
Message:Enabled only when the Log Message option is checked. Enter a message that will be
logged in the PReS Suite Workflow Tools' log file. You can use any variables available in PReS
Workflow to customize the message.
