Optional. Specifies a descriptive comment for the step.

Optional. Specifies the name of a document (IData object) in the pipeline to which you want to restrict this step. If you want this step to have access to the entire pipeline, leave this property blank.

Optional. Specifies the maximum number of seconds that this step should run. If this time elapses before the step completes, Integration Server issues a FlowTimeoutException and execution continues with the next step in the service.

If you want to use the value of a pipeline variable for this property, type the variable name between % symbols. For example, %expiration%. The variable you specify must be a String.

If you do not need to specify a time-out period, leave Timeout blank.

For more information about how Integration Server handles flow step timeouts, refer to the description of the watt.server.threadKill.timeout.enabled configuration parameter in webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.

Optional. (Required if you are using this BRANCH step as a target for another BRANCH or EXIT step.) Specifies a name for this instance of the BRANCH step, or a null, unmatched, or empty string ($null, $default, blank).

Specifies the String field that the BRANCH step uses to determine which child flow step to execute. The BRANCH step executes the child flow step whose label matches the value of the field specified in the Switch property. Do not specify a value if you set the Evaluate labels property to True.

Specifies whether or not you want the server to evaluate labels of child steps as conditional expressions. When you branch on expressions, you enter expressions in the Label property for the children of the BRANCH step. At run time, the server executes the first child step whose label evaluates to True. To branch on expressions, select True. To branch on the Switch value, select False.
