LOOP Properties
The LOOP step has the following properties.
Property
Description
Comments
Optional. Specifies a descriptive comment for the step.
Scope
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.
Timeout
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.
Label
Optional. (Required if you are using this step as a target for a BRANCH or EXIT step.) Specifies a name for this specific step, or a null, unmatched, or empty string ($null, $default, blank).
Input array
Required. Specifies the input array over which to loop. You must specify a variable in the pipeline that is an array data type (that is, String list, String table, document list, or Object list).
Output array
Optional. Specifies the name of the field in which the server places output data for an iteration of the loop. The server collects the output from the iterations into an array field with the same name. You do not need to specify this property if the loop does not produce output values.
