Workflow: Add Tasks

This module is able to add objects as tasks to one or more workflows. The position in the workflow will be defined by the predecessor. When adding the task all successors of the given predecessor will be set as sucessors of the new task. The status in the dependencies of the successors can be provided via option.

Configuration

Optionen

Test mode (test-mode)

Activates a simulation mode

New task name (new-task)

Object name of the new task to add

Predecessor Name (predecessor-name)

Object name of the predecessor task

Predecessor Number (predecessor-no)

Running number of the predecessor task

Branch for new tasks (new-task-branch)

Defines the branch, in which the new task should be added.Mögliche Werte: Both (both), True (true), False (false)

Layout Mode (layout-mode)

Define the mode used to layout the modified workflows. With 'Automatic' (auto) the layout will be done by the system automatically. When choosing the mode 'Insert Column' (column) a columns will be inserted for the new task and all other tasks behind it will be moved to the next column. The last mode 'Define Position' (position) will position the new task at the given position. This may result in changed positions for other tasks if the position was already taken.Mögliche Werte: Automatic (auto), Insert Column (column), Define Position (position)

Position (position)

Defines the x and y coordinates of the new task

No duplicates (no-duplicate)

Do not add the task if the current successor is the same object already

Task State (task-state)

Task state to use for the dependencies to the successorsMögliche Werte: <Leerzeichen>, ANY_ABEND (ANY_ABEND), ANY_ABEND_EXCEPT_FAULT (ANY_ABEND_EXCEPT_FAULT), ANY_EXCEPT_FAULT (ANY_EXCEPT_FAULT), ANY_OK (ANY_OK), ANY_OK_OR_UNBLOCKED (ANY_OK_OR_UNBLOCKED), ANY_SKIPPED (ANY_SKIPPED), ENDED_CANCEL (ENDED_CANCEL), ENDED_EMPTY (ENDED_EMPTY), ENDED_ESCALATED (ENDED_ESCALATED), ENDED_INACTIVE (ENDED_INACTIVE), ENDED_INACTIVE_MANUAL (ENDED_INACTIVE_MANUAL), ENDED_NOT_OK (ENDED_NOT_OK), ENDED_NOT_OK_SYNC (ENDED_NOT_OK_SYNC), ENDED_OK (ENDED_OK), ENDED_OK_OR_EMPTY (ENDED_OK_OR_EMPTY), ENDED_OK_OR_INACTIV (ENDED_OK_OR_INACTIV), ENDED_OK_OR_UNBLOCKED (ENDED_OK_OR_UNBLOCKED), ENDED_SKIPPED (ENDED_SKIPPED), ENDED_SKIPPED_CONDITIONS (ENDED_SKIPPED_CONDITIONS), ENDED_SKIPPED_SYNC (ENDED_SKIPPED_SYNC), ENDED_TIMEOUT (ENDED_TIMEOUT), ENDED_TRUNCATE (ENDED_TRUNCATE), ENDED_UNDEFINED (ENDED_UNDEFINED), ENDED_VANISHED (ENDED_VANISHED), FAULT_ALREADY_RUNNING (FAULT_ALREADY_RUNNING), FAULT_NO_HOST (FAULT_NO_HOST), FAULT_OTHER (FAULT_OTHER), USER_100_200 (USER_100_200), USER_147 (USER_147), USER_201_299 (USER_201_299), USER_300 (USER_300), USER_500_600 (USER_500_600)

Else state (else-state)

Defines the state of the workflow when the predecessor task failsMögliche Werte: Standard (standard), Abort (abort), Block (block), Skip (skip), Block + Abort Signal (blockabort)

Else execute (else-execute)

Defines the object, that will be executed when the state of the predecessor does not matching the configured one

Description

If a task is to be entered at the start of the workflow, START must be entered as the predecessor for a standard workflow, IF for an IF workflow and FE for a ForEach workflow. For If workflows, there is the option new-task-branch to exclude a branch if required. This may be necessary if the sequential number of the predecessor is not known, but the branch in which the predecessor task is located is. If the sequence number of the predecessor is not specified and the specified predecessor occurs more than once in the workflow, the task is only appended to the first occurrence of the task. Here, too, If workflows have a special role if the sequence number is not specified and no branch has been excluded and the predecessor task occurs in both branches. The task is then inserted in both branches. However, further occurrences further back in the branch are ignored.
