Steps

A step of a multiple call destination system represents a processing unit. This unit can contain optional actions that are processed in the following sequence:

  1. Call a destination system

  2. Handle an exception that occurred when the destination system was called (see also: Activating Exception Handling).

  3. Evaluate a branching condition after destination system call (see also: Branching Conditions).

  4. Suspend and resume (see also: Configuring Suspend and Resume).

  5. Evaluate a branching condition after processing is resumed (see also: Branching Conditions).

Steps are numbered in ascending order. The steps are executed according to their step number, starting with the lowest step number. The system proposes step numbers in increments of ten. You can change the step number manually to change the sequence of destination system calls.

In this case, it is the step number that is crucial for execution and not the sequence in which the steps are displayed in the table.

In addition to the step numbers you can mark each step as a jump target. A jump target is a user-defined label that can be used in branching conditions. It helps simplify configuration of a multiple call destination system and improves readability of the configuration. If you enter jump targets and don’t use them in branching conditions, they are used only for visual structuring purposes and don’t have any function.

To assign a jump target, enter a character string in the Jump Target column that is unique in the multiple call destination system, for example, StartPrint or ErrorHandling.
