Results tab of the Activity Property panel

You can use an activity's Results tab to define the success criteria for executing some activities, such as Command Line, For, or Launch Job, when running a workflow. When the activity's success criteria are met, the workflow continues. If the criteria are not met, the workflow ends without completing.

You can use the Summary and Detail fields to include information for display in the Activity Results area of the Operator Control Panel when a workflow that includes the activity is run from the Operator Control Panel.

To define success criteria

1. On the the TrueSight Orchestration Development Studio process canvas, double-click an activity to display the Property panel for the activity.
2. On the Property Panel, select the Results tab.
3. Select Define success criteria.
4. Click Add new row .
5. From the Parameter type menu, choose a context item or module configuration parameter that, when equal to the specified static value, determines the activity's success (see Specifying context items, dynamic context items, or module configurationsfor instructions).
6. From the Value type menu, choose the type (String or Numeric) for the static value against which the previous parameter will be compared to determine the activity's success.
7. From the Comparator menu, choose the comparison state that defines the activity's success.
8. In the Compare to field, enter the static value for the comparison.
9. After populating these fields, click OK.
10. You can continue to add information to Summary or Detail fields or, if you are done , click OK in the Results tab.
