How to create a Session with multiple Return Code Branches (RC)

Products

• CA Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

A user would like to have a session where a uproc could throw a return code different than 0 (ie. 4) and launch a different uproc than in case it would be a Branch KO. 

Example of the request

• One branch for return code 0
• Another branch for return code 4
• A different branch for any return code different than 0 or 4

Using a KO Branch in the Session leads to issues as the KO Branch is executed as well as the RC Branch for code 4, how can we avoid this?

 

 

Environment

Release : 6.6.x and superior

Component : DOLLAR UNIVERSE

Resolution

The most simple solution for this request would be a a RC session with 3 branches RC:

• For rc=0
• For rc=4
• For every rc different than 0 or 4 which would be [-32767,-1];[1,3];[5,32768]

In the uproc AFR_H2 that can throw the custom return code (0, 4 or anything else) we enabled the Enhanced Status Management and added as Completed the Return Codes 0 and 4 as below:

 

This way when the AFR_2 uproc exits with return code 4, it will also be displayed as Completed (Green) and only the uproc AFR_RC4 will be launched:
