Name | Required | Description |
variable | yes | The name for the variable to hold each 'item' for this looping statement. The scope for this variable is limited to the <foreach> loop. |
items | yes | An XPath 2.0 expression that defines the set of nodes (or sequence) to loop through. The length of this set defines the limit for looping and typically also defines a context for relative expressions used in statements or content within the <foreach> loop. |
parallel | Determines whether each loop is processed sequentially (the default) or concurrently (parallel="yes"). Valid values include:  yes = Process each loop concurrently.no = Process each loop sequentially. This is the default. | |
tasks | Determines how many loops are processed when loops are processed concurrently (parallel="yes"). This can be all loops or any one loop (the first loop to complete ends all loop processing). Valid values include: InvokeAll = Process all loops.invokeAll = Process all loops.invokeall = Process all loops.InvokeAny = The completion of any one loop ends loop processing.invokeAny = The completion of any one loop ends loop processing.invokeany = The completion of any one loop ends loop processing. | |
merge | Determines how the results from multiple concurrent loops are fused into one or more variables: true = the single output variable defined in <fuse> holds all the results of concurrent loops "by value".false = the output variable defined in <fuse> holds a structure that references iterative variables containing the results of each concurrent loop - results "by reference". The output variable name is the base name used for iterative variables, such as $summary (the output variable), $summary1 (one loop's results), $summary2 and so on.This attribute is only meaningful when parallel="yes" and tasks="invokeall". The order in which concurrent loops are assigned or fused in variables is not determinant. | |
timeout | Determines a timeout period, in seconds, for each thread when loops are processed concurrently (parallel="yes"). |
