Exiting Batch Synchronisation Section in Cleanup

[bienieck]

Hi,
I have a test sequence which uses Batch Synchronisation in the following way:
1. Entering Batch Serial Section
2. Enter Batch One Thread Only Section
3. Set Temperature
4. Exit Batch One Thread Only Section
5. Test
6. Exit Batch Serial Section

I also use SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError callback in the way that when error occurs ProcessCleanup callback is executed.

Now I want to know how to properly exit batch synchronisation section eg when error occured in step 3 or in step 5. I tried to access those steps ResultStatus properties but without any success 😞 (I mean they were always empty). I used: RunState.SequenceFile.GetSequenceByName("MainSequence").GetStepByUniqueId("ID#:wkly0AIqzUWmRLZ/hRtGVC" /* Enter One Thread Only (Low_Temp_Setup) */).ResultStatus

With status information I could create preconditions when to run which "exit steps".

Result recoding is disabled.

So what is the recommendation for emergency synchronisation exit strategy?

Hi bienieck,

From SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError callback, you can get the Result.Status of a step from the MainSequence using the property: RunState.Main.RunState.Sequence.Main["<STEP NAME>"].Result.Status

SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError also includes a reference to the Step that produced the error, so you can get information from it via Parameters.Step

From the MainSequence, you can get the Result.Status of any step in the sequence using the property: RunState.Sequence.Main["<STEP NAME>"].Result.Status

RunState.SequenceFile is a reference to the on-disk copy of the sequence file rather than the run-time copy, so it does not have access to run-time values.

Is it possible to access this data from ProcessCleanup callback also?

I decided that I will not exit synchronisation section explicitly in cleanup. In case of run time error, post step runtime error callback just terminates all. Process cleanup is executed anyway so proper cleanup is performed there 🙂

It works 🙂
