Examples of When to Use a REPEAT Step
“Repeat on” property is set to FAILURE. Use when a service accesses a remote server and you want the service to retry if the server is busy. Make the service that accesses the remote server a child element of a REPEAT flow step, and then set the
Repeat on property to
FAILURE. If the service attempts to access the website and it fails, the REPEAT flow step attempts to retry the service again. You also set a
Repeat interval that causes the REPEAT flow condition to wait a period of time before invoking the service again.
“Repeat on” property is set to SUCCESS. Use in a web-automation service when you want to repeat a load and query step and a “Next Page” button exists in the current document, indicating that there are additional pages to be processed. End the REPEAT flow step when the query step fails to retrieve a “Next Page” button in the current document.
