5.5.3 Decision Steps
This type of step selects between exit transitions depending on the values of variables defined in
prior steps. See
Decision Step itself is very simple; you can edit only the step name and description. The workflow
path is determined by the transitions.
From a Decision Step, you can set Conditional and Else transitions. Every Decision Step must have
an Else transition and at least one Conditional transition. The Else transition leads to a workflow
path that is followed if none of the criteria for the Conditional transitions is met.
5.5.4 Mail Steps
This step sends a pre-written email. A Mail Step includes the following attributes:
Name of step
To addressee
From addressee
Subject of email
Body of email
From a Mail Step, you can set a Conditional, Unconditional, Timeout, Alert, or Error transition. An
Error transition should always be included so error conditions can be handled properly.
NOTE: If the first step of a workflow fails without an error transition, the iTRAC process cannot
proceed.
5.5.5 Command Steps
A Command Step is a step in which an operating-system level command or script (shell, batch, perl
and so on) is executed. The name of the command can be provided explicitly or set as a string
variable, and parameters can be passed in the same manner. Output from the command can also be
placed back into a string variable.
A Command Step includes the following attributes:
Name of step
