Start and stop PlanetPress Workflow Service

As with most Windows services, PlanetPress Workflow can be started and stopped automatically when a Windows session is opened and closed. The other option is to start, stop or pause PlanetPress Workflow manually using the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program.

Note: The current PlanetPress Workflow status is always displayed in the lower-right corner of the PlanetPress Workflow Configuration program window.

Click Tools in the PlanetPress Workflow Ribbon.
Then, in the Services Status group:

• Click Start Service to start the service. A progress bar is displayed while your PlanetPress Workflow is being started.
• Click Stop Service to stop the service.
  When you stop or pause PlanetPress Workflow, it immediately stops bringing new files into its processes, but it keeps on performing tasks until all the files which are currently under process have been completely processed.
• Click Pause to pause the service. The PlanetPress Workflow service temporarily stops performing jobs.

  Note: If you send a new configuration when PlanetPress Workflow is paused, it will continue using the old configuration when you resume processing until you stop and restart it. See also: Saving and sending a Workflow Configuration.

• Click Resume to resume the service after pausing it. The PlanetPress Workflow Tool service starts performing jobs again.
