Tutorial: Utilizing Task Status

To change the value of varTaskStatus variable, drop a Code shape from the ADVANCED group in left panel onto the workspace.

Click the Code shape and fill fx input on the top of the workspace as

:varTaskStatus: := :enumStatusSUCCESS:

The task always will be marked as SUCCESS

Others examples:

For a task translator:

If you set value of the Code shape as

:varTaskStatus: := :enumStatusFAILED:

The task will always be FAILED

But if status is FAILED you must set the description of the error to the TSR message will be full.

To do it add to the Code shape next code

:varErrorDescr: := 'Some description'

So the Code shape will consist of two lines

:varTaskStatus: := :enumStatusFAILED:;
:varErrorDescr: := 'Some description';

If you set value of the Code shape as

:varTaskStatus: := :enumStatusNODATA:

Task status always will display NO_DATA

Task Status for a Decision Shape

Below is an example of using status of a task as condition of a Decision shape.

Decision shape is available on the left panel in GATEWAYS group

The shape has two branches TRUE and FALSE. To set the condition property, click the shape and set condition property in the right panel.

The status of a task is stored in TASK_[name_of_a_task]_STATUS variable

For example, in our case it is TASK_test_task_translator_STATUS (test_task_translator is the main task)

TASK_[name_of_a_task]_STATUS can get the following values:

1. SUCCESS
2. FAILED
3. NO_DATA

In our case the Decision shape has a condition :TASK_test_task_translator_STATUS: = 'SUCCESS' , so:

• if test_task_translator status is SUCCESS then task_translator_true will be executed
• if test_task_translator status is FAILED then condition of Decision shape will be FALSE and Decision_1 shape will be executed

The Decision_1 shape has the following condition :TASK_test_task_translator_STATUS: = 'FAILED'

So, task_translator_false will be executed

If test_task_translator status is NO_DATA then condition of Decision shape will be FALSE and condition of Decision_1 shape will be FALSE as well. And  task_translator_nodata will be executed
