Information about PlanetPress Workflow
If you wish to use PlanetPress
Workflow (automation) in conjunction with PlanetPress Connect,
you will need to install PlanetPress
Workflow 2020.2 as well. Workflow 2020.2 is provided through a separate
installer which is available on CD or for download as follows:
- If you are a Customer, the installer can be downloaded from the Objectif Lune Web Activations page: https://www.objectiflune.com/activations
- If you are a Reseller, the installer can be downloaded from the Objectif Lune Partner Portal: https://extranet.objectiflune.com/
PlanetPress 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, PlanetPress Workflow 2020.2 must always be installed after the legacy PlanetPress® Suite 7.x installation.
- When uninstalling PlanetPress Workflow 2020.2, you may be prompted to repair your legacy PlanetPress® Suite 7.x installation.
- If PlanetPress Workflow
2020.2 has been installed alongside PlanetPress® Suite 7, Capture can no
longer be used with Workflow 7.
The plugins are now registered uniquely to Workflow 2020.2 and the messenger for Workflow 7 is taken offline. It is only then possible to use Capture from PlanetPress Workflow 2020.2. - PlanetPress Workflow 2020.2 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 PlanetPress Workflow 2020.2, removing the need to run both versions.
