You can add conditional logic to a process flow so that different activities run based on the
return code of a preceding activity. For example, you could execute one activity if
a job returns a return code of 1 and another activity if a job returns a return code
of 0. In this way you can build conditional branching into your process flow.
Open the process flow in Spectrum Enterprise Designer.
Double-click the transition between two activities of the flow.
A transition is the line that connects two activities. For
example, the line between the GeocodeAddress activity and the Run Program
activity shown here is a transition:
The Transition Options window appears.
Select the type of transition you wish to add.
Simple
Select this option if you always want this path in the process flow to run.
Conditional
Select this option if you only want this path in the process flow to run if the upstream
activity returns a specific return code or return codes, or a range
of return codes.
Otherwise
Select this option if you want this path in the process flow to run only if the
conditions in the other transitions leading from the activity are
not met.
Note: Only one Otherwise transition
can exist among the transitions leading from an
activity.
Click OK.
To configure which transitions trigger an activity, right-click the activity,
select Input modes, then choose one of the
following:
First Input
The first transition coming into this activity, whether through a
Simple, Conditional,
or Otherwise transition, triggers the
execution of the activity. Other transitions are ignored.
All Inputs
The activity does not run unless all transitions coming into this
activity are taken.
To configure which transitions leading out of an activity are taken,
right-click the activity, select Output modes, then
choose one of these options:
First Output
The first transition that evaluates to true is taken. Other
transitions are ignored, even if their conditions evaluate to
true.
