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 OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Digital Action
Digital Action action tasks generates the same types of documents generated by PReS Image
output tasks. Since Digital Action tasks are not output tasks, the documents they create are
typically passed on to the following task. The image files they generate are always saved,
along with their index files (if any), to an archive folder.
Technical
The Digital Action task requires a PReS Image license to be present on the same
IPSubnet as PReS Workflow, either on the same server or a different one with PReS
Image installed and activated.
Differences between Digital Action and Image tasks:
l
Digital Action is an action task and cannot be the last task in a branch or process. Image
is an output task, and has to be placed at the end of a process or branch.
l In PReS Workflow 7.2.4 and older, Digital Action does not update the PReS Search
Database, even if a PDIis generated and even if the option is checked in the preferences.
This behavior was changed starting in PReS Workflow 7.3.
l Digital Action can accept PostScript (.ps)files as an input, even if they are not generated
by any PReS Workflow tools.
