Property

Description

Implementation

Integration Server Name

Assigned Integration Server Name (logical server).

Service

Service type: IS Service (default) or Web Service.

Click Browse to select an existing service from the connected Integration Server.

Click New to open the Create a New Flow Service wizard.

Click View to open the service associated with the step for viewing.

Generated Service Name

Name of the generated flow service used at run time.

Retry Count

Number of times the Process Engine retries the service in the case of an Integration Server run-time exception. The default value is 0, or no retries.

Note:

The retry mechanism is invoked only when a step service generates an ISRuntimeException error. Any other exception, such as an EXIT with a FAILURE error, causes the step to fail.

Retry Interval

Number of milliseconds (ms) the Process Engine waits between retry attempts in the case of an Integration Server run-time exception. The default value is 60000 ms, or 60 seconds.

Allow Parallel Execution

Lock the step at run-time to allow it to be executed by multiple threads.

Compensating

Places a BPMN compensation marker on the step, indicating that it is used for compensation. This is notational only and has no effect on the behavior of the activity.

Logged Fields

Inputs

Input fields to log. Inputs are logged before the step executes. For more information, see Log Inputs and Outputs.

Outputs

Output fields to log. Outputs are logged after the step executes.

Joins

Join Type

A join type defines the logic the process follows when a step has multiple incoming transitions. Options: OR, AND, COMPLEX, or Unsynchronized OR.

See About Joins.

Note:

The Joins page is displayed only when a step has more than one incoming transition.

Join Timeout

The timeout duration value, after which this join fails. This option is available for AND and COMPLEX joins only. The source of this value can be:

A static value that you define.

A value from a field in the process pipeline. The field value is interpreted in milliseconds.

A value based on a business calendar in My webMethods Server. You can specify a static number of days, hours, and minutes, or specify a pipeline field to set the day, hours, or minutes value.

For more information, see About Join Timeouts.

Join Condition

Use the join condition editor to define a condition for the gateway join. This option is available only for a complex join in a complex gateway.

When the terms of this condition are met (that is, the condition is true), the join is considered satisfied.

For more information about using the condition editor, see About Complex Join Expressions and Defining a Complex Join Expression.

Deprecated properties (not recommended)

These deprecated properties are not available for unsynchronized OR joins.

Suppress Join Failure

This option is not recommended except in very isolated cases. For more information, see Migrating Process Models with Join Steps to Version 9.7 and Later.

Ignore dead path notification

This option is not recommended except in very isolated cases. For more information, see Migrating Process Models with Join Steps to Version 9.7 and Later.
