where errors are being forwarded. In all cases, if your process continues after the error, the contents of the
variables selected in this window will be available for the rest of your process, or whenever they are
overwritten.
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 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 OKbutton,
and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Metadata to PDI
The Metadata to PDItask takes the active metadata and generates a PDI using the information in that
metadata. It is generally used in conjunction with a PDFdata file and is used to generate the PDIfile which
is used by PReS Search when building, refreshing or rebuilding its database.
Input
This task can use any data file, as long as it is accompanied by metadata. This metadata may have been
directly generated or could be extracted from a PDFusing the Embed and Extract PReS Workflow
Metadata task.
