error, the contents of the variables selected in this window will be available to the rest of your
process, or as long as they are not 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.
OL Connect Tasks
Note
OLConnect Tasks are available in PReS Workflow 8.0 and up, and are used specifically
to communicate with the Server component of PlanetPress Connect or PReSConnect.
OLConnect includes a set of automation tasks to communicate with the Server component and
automate certain tasks such as creating record sets, generating contents and generating output.
All In One
The All In One action task is a combination of 4 different OLConnect tasks within a single one.
This makes creating Print content faster and more easily, as the task is optimized for this
specific purpose with less data exchanged with the server as well as multi-threading support.
The task is build with 3 tabs that represent the 3 main steps of the creation of a Print
Output:Data Mapping, Content Creation and Output Creation. In this case, Job Creation is
implied and equivalent to a single created job.
