NOP Utility (Magic xpi 4.5)
The NOP (no operation) utility lets you create more effective orchestration in your flow by giving you the ability to define the conditional execution of branches.
To add the NOP utility to a flow:
-
Drag the NOP utility from the Toolbox pane to your flow.
-
In the Properties pane, enter the information as described in the table below:
|

|
Processing mode
|
Select whether the step should be executed linear, parallel or stand-alone.
|
Note:

This is available only if the NOP utility is not the first step in a flow.

Wait for completion

Select Yes to indicate that the step is a Save Point in your flow.

Call logic flow
|
You can use this option if you want to call generic logic after the execution of a specific step. Once this step has been executed, the flow logic that you defined in the flow properties is called before the Server continues to the following steps.
The options are Yes or No (default).
