The document is imported and displayed in the Configuration Components pane. This
physically installs the documents to the Documents folder relative to the install folder of PReS
Workflow.
Import PrintShop Mail Documents
This procedure describes how to import variable content documents created in PrintShop Mail.
Importing documents can be useful when transferring configurations between PReS Workflow
installations.
To import documents into PReS Workflow:
1.
Click the PReS Workflow button. The Import PrintShop Mail Document dialog box
appears.
2. Choose Import, then PrintShop Mail Documents.
3.
Navigate to the document you want to import, select it and click Open. The document is
imported and displayed in the Configuration Components pane. This physically installs
the documents to the Documents folder relative to the install folder of PReS Workflow.
Debugging and Error Handling
This chapter touches on two subjects that are intrinsically linked, though their use is different.
Debugging is the act of running through your process, either step by step or as a whole, directly
from the PReS Workflow Configuration Tool, in order to detect and resolve issues with your
process.
Error Handling, on the other hand, occurs when your configuration has been sent to PReS
Workflow services, and are running in "production"mode. On one hand the manual task is
critical when creating a process, on the other the automated handling of errors within your
processes will have a large impact on recovering from errors as they happen during production.
About Error Handling
When your process is running, or during debugging, it may happen that the task that is currently
running causes an error, and the task fails. For example, when trying to save to a folder that
does not exist, or printing to a printer that cannot be found.
