Backup job file: Select if you want PReS Workflow to use identical copies of the job file
for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not selected, the file generated
by the output task located at the end of the secondary branch is used as the job file for the
main branch. Note that if the secondary branch ends with a Delete output task, the main
branch will not receive any job file. If the secondary branch includes a splitter task, the
main branch will receive the last part of the job file (as split by the splitter task). If the
secondary branch ends with a PReS Fax or PReS Image output task, the main branch
will receive a PostScript file.
l
Backup job information: Select if you want PReS Workflow to use identical copies of
the job file information for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not
selected, the job file information that reaches the output task located at the end of the
secondary branch is used for the main branch. Any modification performed on the
secondary branch thus has an impact on the main branch.
l
Backup emulation: Select if you want PReS Workflow to use the emulation selected
when the job file reaches the secondary branch for the main branch as well. When this
option is not selected, the emulation selected when the job file reaches the output task
located at the end of the secondary branch is used for the main branch. If the secondary
branch includes a secondary input task or a Change Emulation action task, then the last
emulation selected in the secondary branch will be the one used for the main branch.
l
Backup local variables: Select if you want PReS Workflow to use identical copies of the
local variables for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not selected, the
local variables that reaches the output task located at the end of the secondary branch is
used for the main branch. Any modification performed on the secondary branch thus has
an impact on the main branch.
In case of the failure of a Branch task (the branch itself, not the other tasks contained within),
by default the process will ignore the branch and simply go down the main trunk. You can
overwrite this in the On Error tab.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page723.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be
