Description

Success

Solid black line

Run the successor task if the predecessor task goes to Success.

Failure

Dotted black line

Run the successor task if the predecessor task goes to Failure.

Success/Failure

Dotted black line

Run the successor task if the predecessor task goes to Success or Failure.

VariableDotted black line

Run the successor task if the variable condition specified in the variable window is met. 

Note

For workflow edge variable conditions that use functions to evaluate STDOUT, STDERR, FILE, or JOBLOG output, you must enable Wait For Output when setting up Automatic Output Retrieval.
Furthermore, the evaluation of workflow edge variable conditions happens prior to performing Set Variable Actions on task instance Success and Failed statuses, therefore, evaluation will not take these updates into consideration.

Exit Code(s)

Dotted black line

Run the successor task if the predecessor task returns one of the specified exit code(s). Format: Numeric. Use commas to list a series of exit codes; use hyphens to specify a range. Example: 1,5, 22-30.

Step Conditions

Dotted gray line

For predecessor z/OS tasks only: Run the successor task if the running predecessor z/OS task has a step end matching the specified Step Condition(s).

Condition Codes

Conditions codes are integer return codes from the program or ABEND codes. Integer return codes are specified as a comma-separated list of integer values or ranges. Ranges are specified with a dash (-) separating the lower and upper bounds of the range. The z/OS job step return code range is 0-4095. ABEND codes are specified directly as either a user ABEND or a system ABEND. The ABEND code must be specified verbatim including leading zeroes.
 
For example: 1,6-4095,Sxxx,Unnnn,JCLERR

Variable Conditions

Variable Conditions are available for all task types. Variable Conditions support Variables and Functions.

 At runtime, the First Value and Second Value will be resolved and evaluated based on the Operator specified. If the First Value and/or Second Value stay unresolved, the edge will be skipped automatically, without further evaluation.

Specifying a Variable Condition

To specify a dependency condition for a connection between a predecessor and successor task:

Step 1

Hover your mouse over the connection to view the currently selected condition. If you want to change the condition, right-click the connection to display a Connector Actions menu.
