Information about OL ConnectWorkflow

If you wish to use OL Connect Workflow (automation), you will need to install OL Connect Workflow 2024.1 as well. Workflow 2024.1 is provided through a separate installer which is available on CD or for download as follows:

OL Connect Workflow can be installed in parallel on the same machine as an existing PlanetPress® Suite 7.x installation.

Note however:

  • If both versions need to be hosted on the same machine, OL Connect Workflow 2024.1 must always be installed after the legacy PlanetPress® Suite 7.x installation.
  • When uninstalling OL Connect Workflow 2024.1, you may be prompted to repair your legacy PlanetPress® Suite 7.x installation.
  • If OL Connect Workflow 2024.1 has been installed alongside PlanetPress® Suite 7, Capture can no longer be used with Workflow 7.
  • OL Connect Workflow 2024.1 and PlanetPress® Suite Workflow 7 cannot run simultaneously, since only one version of the Messenger service can run at a time. In fact, no two versions of Workflow can be run simultaneously on the same machine, regardless of versions.
  • It is possible to switch between different versions running by shutting down one version's services and then starting the other. However, this is not recommended. There are no technical limitations that prevent processes from previous PlanetPress Suite Workflow versions (as far back as Version 4) to run on OL Connect Workflow 2024.1, removing the need to run both versions.
