94 CHAPTER 8 BASIC TASKBUILDER FUNCTIONS
Using Third-Party Editors
TaskBuilder does not support internal editing of Text, XML, HTML, SQL or PDF les;
it does provide a link to outside editors, which can be automatically launched in a sepa-
rate window. Right-clicking on a selected component or action will display a small context
menu. If the component or action type is such that use of an outside editor is supported,
then the Open in Editor menu item will be enabled. Selecting this menu option will acti-
vate the editor in a separate window.
Note
In order for the editors to function properly, the file name must be set in the property
box.
e editor used to open a particular component type can be changed in the TaskBuilder
Conguration sub-window (see Chapter 11). e current components and actions that
support the Open in Editor feature are as follows:
XML – e XML le is opened in an XML editor.
HTML – e HTML le is opened in a web browser.
PDF – e PDF le is opened in Adobe Acrobat®.
TEXT – e Text le is opened in any text editor.
XML-to-XML Action – Both the translation le and the source le (the File Name of the
start component) are opened in an XML editor.
XML-to-PDF Action – Same as XML-to-XML.
XML-to-HTML Action – Same as XML-to-XML.
XML-to-Text Action – Same as XML-to-XML.
DB-to-Data Action – e SQL Query le is opened in a SQL editor.
Changing Task Execution
TaskBuilder uses one of two paradigms to execute a given task: depth-rst or breadth-rst.
e desired execution method can be set in the Task Details sub-window (see the Creating
a New Task section in this chapter).
e execution method controls how TaskBuilder handles the execution order of a non-
linear task with dierent branches. For most tasks, execution order does not change the end
result; however there are times when there is a dierence between depth-rst execution and
breadth-rst execution. Consider the task in Figure 8.10.
