REPEAT Properties
The REPEAT step has the following properties.
Property
Description
Comments
Optional. Specifies a descriptive comment for this 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).
Count
Required. Specifies the maximum number of times the server re-executes the child steps in the REPEAT step. Set Count to 0 (zero) to instruct the server that the child steps should not be re-executed. Set Count to a value greater than zero to instruct the server to re-execute the child steps up to a specified number of times. Set Count to -1 to instruct the server to re-execute the child steps as long as the specified Repeat on condition is true.
If you want to use the value of a pipeline variable for this property, type the variable name between % symbols. For example, %servicecount%. The variable you specify must be a String.
Repeat interval
Optional. Specifies the number of seconds the server waits before re-executing the child steps. Specify 0 (zero) to re-execute the child steps without a delay.
If you want to use the value of a pipeline variable for this property, type the variable name between % symbols. For example, %waittime%. The variable you specify must be a String.
Repeat on
Required. Specifies when the server re-executes the REPEAT child steps. Select SUCCESS to re-execute the child steps when the all the child steps complete successfully. Select FAILURE to re-execute the child steps when any one of the child steps fails.
