Mark Connect Sets for Deletion

The Mark Connect Sets for Deletion task indicates that an item in the Connect Database should be deleted the next time the Database Cleanup runs. This means that whatever item is set for deletion will no longer be available from the database.

Input

The task requires a valid Metadata file containing items for deletion, including Job Sets, Content Sets and Data Sets. These can be created by the Execute Data Mapping, Create Print Content and Create Job tasks. Job Sets, Content Sets and Data Sets are also valid when obtained using the Retrieve Items task.

Processing

All sets currently active in the Metadata are set for deletion.

Output

The same Metadata that is input.

OL Connect Proxy Tab

This tab is common to all OL Connect tasks and defines where to process the jobs sent through these tasks. When these fields are empty, they use the defaults set in the OL Connect preferences.

Note: Defaults are not used unless the configuration is sent to the Workflow service.

• OL Connect Proxy Address: Enter the machine name or IP Address where the OL Connect Server resides.

• Port: Enter the port to use to communicate with the OL Connect Server. Default: 9340

• User name: Enter the user name expected by the OL Connect Server.

• Password: Enter the password expected by the OL Connect Server for the above user name.

On Error Tab

For a description of the options on the On Error tab see Using the On Error tab.

Miscellaneous Tab

The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.

It contains a text area (Task comments) that lets you write comments about the task. These comments are saved when the dialog is closed with the OK button and are displayed in The Task Comments Pane.

Check the option Use as step description to display the text next to the icon of the plugin in the Process area.

The tab also provides an option to highlight the task in The Process area with the default color, set in the Preferences (see Colors), or the color selected or defined under Highlight color on this tab.
To revert the selected highlight color to the default color, open this tab, turn the Highlight option off and close the dialog with the OK button; then turn highlighting back on.
Highlighting can also be turned on and off via the task's contextual menu and with the Highlight button on the View ribbon.
