Send to Folder
Send to Folder action tasks send the files they receive to a local folder. They perform the same
function as Send to Folder output tasks, with the only difference being that in this case PReS
Workflow will wait for the task to be completed before going on to the next task in the
configuration.
Note
As with any task that can refer to network resources, it is important to understand the
considerations involved with paths and permissions of these resources. Please refer to
the Network Considerations page in the Advanced Configuration and Options chapter
(Reference Guide, in English only).
Input

Processing
A copy of the data file is saved on the hard drive at the specified location.

Concatenate files: If this option is selected, when PReS Workflow tries to save a file
under a given name, if a file under that same name already exists, instead of overwriting
