Send to Process
The Send to Process task transfers job file(s), job information and all related files (metadata, sorted
metadata, etc.) to a selected process. This action task is asynchronous, meaning the current process will
continue running in parallel to the process chosen in this task and will not wait for it to finish.
This task is dual-purpose:It can be used either as an Action task, or as an Output task. In either case, it does
not directly produce an output, though the process it calls may produce one or more outputs.
In either case, the called process will ignore the input task along with its job infos and schedule, and use the
job file, job infos, metadata and variables from the current process.
General tab
l
Process: The name of the target process to send current job to. Note that startup and subprocesses
are not available. You can either enter the name of a process (or use variable properties)or use the
drop-down to list existing processes.
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.
