General tab
l
Subprocess: Drop down list containing all the available subprocesses in the current configuration.
l
Backup job file: Select if you want to use identical copies of the job file for the main process and the
subprocess.
l
Backup job information: Select if you want to use identical copies of the job file information for the
main process and subprocess. Once the subprocess completes its execution, the main process will
retrieve the original job information values.
l
Backup emulation: Select if you want to use the emulation selected when the job file reaches the
subprocess for the main process as well. Note that the emulation is not passed from a main process to
a subprocess or vice versa.
l
Retrieve subprocess error: Select if you want to receive error(s) from the subprocess in order to
handle them on its own.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog" on page663.
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.
