l
Store the IDin variable:Select in which jobinfo, local or global variable you want to
store the error ID.
l Reset to defaults:Resets all options in this tab to their default values.
When storing the message or ID, if they are stored in a jobinfo they will be available in any
error handling process where errors are being forwarded. If your process continues after the
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 text area (Task comments)that lets
you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with
the OKbutton, and are displayed in the Task Comments Pane.
Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in
the Process area.
Data Splitters
Splitter action tasks are used to single data files into multiple data files. You can use such
tasks, for example, to split files that contain statements for multiple clients into smaller files that
each contain a single client statement. Each statement can then be printed and sent by snail
mail, or even emailed directly from PReS Workflow, to each individual client.
Splitters initiate a recurring cycle that stops only when the original file has been completely
processed. When a given splitter creates a file, it hands it down to the task that follows, and all
the tasks on the same branch are performed until the output task. Then the splitter task creates
yet another file that is again handed down to the next task, and so forth until the cycle ends
(when there is no more data in the original file).
