For this property… | Specify… | ||
Comments | An optional descriptive comment for this step. | ||
Scope | 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 | An optional name for this specific LOOP step, or a null, unmatched, or empty string ($null, $default, blank).
| ||
Input array | The name of the array variable on which the LOOP will operate. This variable must be one of the following types: String list, String table, Document list, or Object list. | ||
Output array | The name of the element that you want the server to collect each time the LOOP executes. You do not need to specify this property if the loop does not produce output values or if you are collecting the elements of Input array. |
Important: | When you build a LOOP step, make sure that you specify the output array variable in the LOOP Output array property before creating a link to the output array variable within a MAP or INVOKE step in the body of the LOOP. If you specify the output array variable after creating a link to it, the link will fail at run time. You can debug the step in Designer to see if the link succeeds. If the link fails, delete the link to the output array variable and then recreate it. |
