l If you are upgrading to the latest version of Connect, it is recommended to open each
template in Designer, produce a proof making sure the output is correct. Then send the
template with its data mapping configuration, Job Creation and Output Creation preset
files to Workflow by clicking on File > Send to Workflow...
l If you still use PlanetPress 7 legacy documents, PTK files can be imported by clicking on
the Workflow tool button at the top left corner of the Workflow tool interface. If copying the
PlanetPress Workflow 8 folder directly, it's important to delete any file with the .ps7
extension so as to refresh the PostScript file for the new workstation. Deleting the .ps7
files will make Workflow recreate them.
l The Workflow configuration file itself is named ppwatch.cfg, and is backed up with the
folders. However, it needs to be re-sent to the Service to be used. To do this, rename the
file to .OL-Workflow, open the file with the Workflow tool, and send the configuration.
l Locate Custom Plugins (.dll) from the below folder on the old workstation and import them
onto the new workstation:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Objectif Lune\PlanetPress
Workflow 8\Plugins
To import the plugins:
1. Start the Workflow Configuration Tool.
2. Click on the Plug-in Bar.
3. Click on the down pointing triangle under the Uncategorized group.
4. Select Import Plug-in and select the .dll file.
l Import any external scripts used by the Run Script plugin, making sure they reflect the
same paths as on the previous workstation
l Install any external application, executable and configuration files used by the External
Program plugin, making sure they reflect the same paths as on the previous workstation
l Reconfigure local ODBC connections (i.e. create local copies of databases or recreate
required DSN entries).
l Backup and import other custom configuration files, Microsoft Excel Lookup files, making
sure they reflect the same paths as previously.
l Reinstall required external printer drivers and recreate all Windows printer queues and
TCPIP ports.
l On the new workstation if the "TCP/IP Print Server" service is running in Windows, it is
requested to disable that service so that it does not interfere with the Workflow LPD/LPR
services.
