Fork condition

I suppose you could set up your flow with a fork using the end condition
ELEMENT = 002.
But perhaps you should just as well have a loop until element 002 arrives?
Your problem :-)

Explanation what I want:
2 branches which wait for incoming Idoc's which create events (IS-U with
DATEX). One branch is always finisched, if 'ELEMENT' EQ '002', the
workflow can be finished. But if 'ELEMENT' NE '002', then I want to wait
for the second branche.
As I am writing this down, I think of another solution. I can also do a
check at the end of branch 1 on 'ELEMENT' and if it is '002', the
workflow can be finished by a Process Control task...
But I am still wondering what the purpose is of the condition in the
Fork....
Regards,
Robert

Your question was a bit muddy, so Karen's comment may well be the most
applicable here.
If one of the tasks should _always_ be executed and the second task only
if
certain values result from that first task you don't want to fork them,
you
want a multiple-condition (or just simple condition) step. After the
first
task has been executed you check the container value and determine which
path to travel.
If both fork branches should _always_ be executed you set it up with 2
branches required, otherwise with 1.
If indeed you want a fork (both tasks active simultaneously) you can
solve
this either by using three flag variables and looping. It get's a bit
ugly,
but I think the alternative is to copy the tasks which isn't nice
either.
The three flags are of course initial at first.
flag 1: task1_done
flag 2: task2_done
flag 3: we_are_done
Set up your flow as follows.
First you set up a loop which loops until we_are_done is not initial
Inside the loop your fork with two branches and one required is set up.
In
each branch you set up a condition. You check whether taskX_done is
initial
or not. If it is not initial you go to a branch with a step waiting for
some terminating event. Otherwise you continue and your tasks are sent
to
their agents. When the task is executed you set the corresponding flag
in a
container operation step, and after the fork ends you set up your
conditions to find out if you need another loop.
If task1_done is not initial and task2_done is not initial you go to a
branch with a container operation and set we_are_done = X
In the other branch you set up another condition check to determine if
we_are_done = X should be set.
And so on.
I said it was going to get ugly......

Are you sure that you want to use a fork? If you use 2 forks, they will
run simultaneously.

Subject: Fork condition
Hello,
Next question,
This is the first time I want to work with a condition in a fork.
I have 2 branches. I one is finished, I want to check a value of a
containerelement. If the containerelement is filled with a certain
value, the fork other branch should be taken into the process. If
the
containerlement is filled with another value, the second branch is
important and should be processed.
Should I fill in "Branches required = 02" and the condition, or
should
the "Branches required = 01" and the condition??
Or doesn't it work that way??
Regards,
Robert
