PSP Usage

PSP is not supported.

Priority of Conditions

Priority of conditions is as follows.

Evaluate from the top of [Condition list].
Evaluate contents inside parentheses prior to contents outside.

How to Operate Conditional Branch

Create Conditional Branch

Draw a process flow from [Condition] to the operation that is executed when the condition matches.

Add Conditional Branch

Select [Add condition] from the right-click menu of [Start Conditional Branch] and add a condition.

The maximum number of [Condition] icons that can be added is 98.

Change evaluation order of conditions

Select [Move up evaluation order] or [Move down evaluation order] from the right-click menu of [Condition], and change the evaluation order of multiple conditions. The number encircled on [Condition] is the evaluation order.

When Condition Does Not Match

When the condition set in [Condition] does not match, the subsequent operations to which the flow is drawn from [Start Conditional Branch] will be executed.
If subsequent operation does not exist, the process moves to [End Conditional Branch].

In the above example, if the condition does not match, the Output Log operation will be executed without executing the Wait operation.

Specification Limits

Even if the condition is added or edited, the update icon “*” will not be displayed on the component icon.

Major Exceptions

None.

Notes

If a process flow is not drawn after [Condition], then the process will go on to [End Conditional Branch].

Properties window cannot be opened for [Start Conditional Branch] and [End Conditional Branch].

Sample

Using Conditional Branch operation, create a script to execute Launch External Application operation only when the number of seconds for the script execution time is even number.

Create a script as follows.

Create a script variable “var” of integer type.

Perform mapping in the Mapper as follows.
- Determine whether the number of seconds for the script execution time is odd or even, and map the value to the script variable “var”.
- If the number of seconds for the script execution time is odd, 1 will be set in “var”.
- If the number of seconds for the script execution time is even, 0 will be set in “var”.

Configure the Conditional Branch as follows.
- If the number of seconds for the script execution time is odd, the condition expression will be false.
- If the number of seconds for the script execution time is even, the condition expression will be true.

Execute the script and check the result in the debug information view and the execution log view.

Debug information & Execution history The number of seconds for the script execution time Whether or not the batch is launched

Even YES

Odd NO

Debug information & Execution history	The number of seconds for the script execution time	Whether or not the batch is launched
