The Switching Comparator component compares the state of a prepaid account with one or more predefined values (Active, Blocked, Locked, or Closed). The Switching Comparator component compares the state of a prepaid account with one or more predefined values (Active, Blocked, Locked, or Closed).
The comparison is true when the state of the prepaid account matches one of the predefined values.
When you insert it in the decision tree, the Switching Comparator creates two to five separate branches:
One to four branches corresponding to a predefined value (Active, Blocked, Locked, or Closed), but only one branch is activated if the comparison is true.
One branch that is activated when the comparison is false.
When the component is executed, only one branch is activated depending on the test result.
In the refill logic of a refill plan, if you want to make a refill depending on the state of the prepaid account, you may need to compare the state of the prepaid account with one of the predefined states (Active, Blocked, Locked, or Closed). To use the Switching Comparator inside your price plan, do the following:
After you add the component, choose the "Account State of Prepaid Account" as the property name.
Describe the refill of each decision tree branch by using a Function component.
Name: Type the name of the component (mandatory).
Description: Allows you to type the description of the component (optional).
