Options
l
Protocol Options Group
l
Log all Winsock and network messages: Select to have PReS Workflow keep a
log of all Winsock and other network messages that occur through the FTP output.
These messages are related to jobs sent from PReS Workflow to a server via an
FTP output, which in turn uses the FTP output service. Log files are kept in the Log
folder, which is located in the PReS Workflow installation folder. They are named
ftpdate.log, where date is the current date in yyyymmdd numerical format. Note that
changing this option also affects the log displayed in the PReS Workflow Service
Console.
l
Interval: Select the interval (in seconds) at which the FTP service is to dispatch jobs
from the ftpPut folder to the FTP sites.
l
Back up job on error: Select to move the job file to a local folder ftpPut\error if an
error occurs while sending a job via the FTP output. This folder is relative to your
install folder.
l
FTP Port: Select the port number that you want PReS Workflow to use for all FTP
output tasks. The recommended port is 21 (the default setting).
PReS Image preferences
PReS Image user options control certain functions of the PReS Image service, which in turn
has a direct impact on all PReS Image output tasks performed on a given computer. These
include error and logging options, PReS Search database options, as well as networking and
email options.
Bear in mind that PReS Image output tasks included in a given PReS Workflow configuration
can be performed by a PReS Image installation running on a different computer, typically one
that runs only PReS Image. When you change the user options on a given computer, only that
computer is affected. So you should consider changing the PReS Image user options on the
computer that actually performs the PReS Image output tasks.
The changes you make to the PReS Image user options are stored in the PReS Image
configuration file (ppimage.cfg). They will be applied when PReS Image is started.
The available PReS Image user options are separated in four different sections:
