subprocess from any GoSub action, in order to avoid circular referencing (aka an infinite
loop).
General tab
l
Subprocess: Drop down list containing all the available subprocesses in the current
configuration.
l
Backup job file: Select if you want to use identical copies of the job file for the main
process and the subprocess.
l
Backup job information: Select if you want to use identical copies of the job file
information for the main process and subprocess. Once the subprocess completes its
execution, the main process will retrieve the original job information values.
l
Backup emulation: Select if you want to use the emulation selected when the job file
reaches the subprocess for the main process as well. Note that the emulation is not
passed from a main process to a subprocess or vice versa.
l
Retrieve subprocess error: Select if you want to receive error(s) from the subprocess in
order to handle them on its own.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog"
on pageξ771.
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)ξwill 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:ξEnabled 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:ξIn 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:
