Object Properties

The Workflow tab can be used to define the processing order of tasks by linking them with lines. Additionally, you can specify dependencies and conditions for each individual task. Use the command Properties... in the workflow's context menu for this purpose.

The following tabs are available:

General tab - To set time checkpoints.
Earliest tab - To specify the earliest start time.
Preconditions tab - Conditions that are checked before a task is executed.
Dependencies tab - To define dependencies to other tasks and the latest starting point.
Variables & Prompts tab - To modify object or PromptSet variables.
Calendar tab - To specify calendar conditions.
Runtime tab - To monitor the minimum and/or maximum runtime.
Postconditions tab -Conditions that are checked after a task has ended.
Solution tab - To overwrite the specific attributes of RA jobs (only available in RA jobs).
External Dependency tab - To define dependencies to external tasks.

Note that the tabs are not checked in the order in which they are structured. The first three tabs are processed in the following order: "Dependencies", "Earliest" and "Preconditions".

In the task properties tabs Preconditions, Postconditions, Variables & Prompts and General (only the field: Alias), you can also use object variables and PromptSet variables of the workflow.Predefined variablesare also supported. Their values also refer to the workflow.
Exception: &$TASK_NAME refers to the workflow task and retrieves the actual object name. This variable can only be used in the field Alias (General tab).

Task variables can only be used in the properties if their values have been overwritten in the properties (Variables & Prompts tab).
