Task Properties Dialog
Any task you add to your PReS Workflow process must be configured using its Properties
dialog box. Each task's Properties Dialog will give you the options to configure that specific,
individual task. Properties of one task do not directly affect the properties of another task,
however there are some software preferences that may affect tasks in one way or another (see
"Preferences" on page677).
l Each task has its own set of tabs available, though some tabs are common to most tasks.
l
Most tasks have the Generaltab which lets you configure the main task properties for that
specific task.
l
All tasks except for the InputErrorBin, Run Script, Open XLSTand Comment tasks
have an On Error tab that lets you manage errors generated by the task.
l
All initial Input tasks have the Othertab which lists job infos and lets you back up the job
file.
The "On Error"tab that is common to almost all tasks contain the following options:
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.
l Stop Process:The process is stopped and no more processing is done. No further
output is produced.
l Log Message:Check this option to enable logging a custom error message in PReS
Workflow' log file.
l Message:Enabled only when the Log Message option is checked. Enter a message that
will be logged in the PReS Workflow' log file. You can use any variables available in
PReS Workflow to customize the message.
