selected, the job file information that reaches the output task located at the end of the
secondary branch is used for the main branch. Any modification performed on the
secondary branch thus has an impact on the main branch.
l
Backup emulation: Select if you want PReS Workflow to use the emulation selected
when the job file reaches the secondary branch for the main branch as well. When this
option is not selected, the emulation selected when the job file reaches the output task
located at the end of the secondary branch is used for the main branch. If the secondary
branch includes a secondary input task or a Change Emulation action task, then the last
emulation selected in the secondary branch will be the one used for the main branch.
l
Backup local variables: Select if you want PReS Workflow to use identical copies of the
local variables for the main and secondary branches. When this option is not selected, the
local variables that reaches the output task located at the end of the secondary branch is
used for the main branch. Any modification performed on the secondary branch thus has
an impact on the main branch.
In case of the failure of a Branch task (the branch itself, not the other tasks contained within),
by default the process will ignore the branch and simply go down the main trunk. You can
overwrite this in the On Error tab.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on page771.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be
ignored, and the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file
without any modification. Any initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from
running as a whole, and output tasks will not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to
overwrite the default behaviors.
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:In the initial input tasks, this group is disabled and defaults to Stop Process. In
all other tasks where the On Error tab is present, the following options are available:
l Default:By default, the task is ignored as if it did not exist and the error is logged
before continuing the branch or process; the job file is passed on to the next task in
the process. When an error occurs in a loop (or in a plugin that acts like a loop), the
