Current Sequence Status

[ShaneDonn]

Is it possible to check the status of the current seqeunce during main execution or just in cleanup.

I was hoping to set a precondition for my steps in main that if execution has errored or failed do not execute the step -  I suppose on fail I am aswell just jump to cleanup..

Thanks,

Shane.

Hi Shane

Try using ThisContext.RunState.SequenceFailed to check the status of your sequence.

If some of your steps has been failed i would think on a PostAction to jump to clean up

Hope this helps

There is also a global setting (station options dialog at the bottom of the first page) to goto cleanup on failures.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

I tried ThisContext.RunState.SequenceFailed  but it doesn't seem to update until cleanup.

Also I only want certain steps to jump to cleanup so I don't want to use a global setting.

I have posted another post on trying to jump to cleanup using the property loader - I can't seem to get the syntax correct.

Maybe one of you guys can help with this?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Shane,

I have re-tried RunState.SequenceFailed on my TS 4.0 maschine in an example

and it is working a suspected. It is updated once a step has been failed!

Note: All steps has been set on default as Step Failure cause Sequnce Failure. This should not be disabled, of course!

In your case i would use the step post action and jump on fail to cleanup.

Just take a look on the example.

Hope this helps

Hi,

Thanks for the example sequence file - it ran as you outlined - I must have had something wrong with my implementation when I tried it out. I will look at this again.

Thanks & Regards,

Shane.
