Case / Default

The Case action and the Default action are similar to the Group action, in that they can each contain any number of subactions. They are unique in that they do not appear in the New Action dialog and can be added only as subactions to a Select Case action.

Case Action: The Case action allows you to create a sub-group of actions that are executed only when a specified variable for the Select Case action meets the condition that you specify for the Case action.

Default Action: The Default action allows you to create a sub-group of actions that are executed only when a specified variable for the Select Case action does not meet the conditions of any of its Case actions.

The Select Case action and Default action property pages include the following properties:

Action

Name: A read-only property that specifies the name of the action. The "variable" listed in the name updates to the variable you specify in the Cases section of the Select Case property page. The name also reflects the condition you specify in the Case Options section of the Case property page.
Description: Allows you to save a description for the action.

Cases Options

The Case Options settings are available only for Case actions. The Default action is simply executed when the specified variable for the Select Case action does not meet the conditions of any of its Case actions.

Case Value: Specifies the relational operator that you want to use for the condition that the Integration Service will evaluate to determine if the action should be executed.

Equals: When enabled, allows you to specify a single value. When the value of the Select Case variable matches the entered value, the Case action is executed.
Is Between: When enabled, allows you to specify two values. When the value of the Select Case variable is between the two entered values, the Case action is executed.
Is Any Of: When enabled, allows you to specify one or more values. When the value of the Select Case variable matches any one of the entered values, the Case action is executed.

Execute Options

Execute Actions: Specifies whether the subactions you create for the action will be executed sequentially, in the order they appear in the Integration Settings pane, or in parallel (that is, at the same time).
Execute actions {#} times: Specifies how many times to run the subactions.

Error Handling and Diagnostics

Ignore errors and continue running actions: When enabled, specifies that if the action fails, the remaining actions will continue to run.

When this property is not enabled and the action fails, the resulting behavior depends on the following scenarios:

If you have specified Sequentially for the Execute Actions property of the selected action's hierarchical Actions or Group property page, no further actions within that group are executed.
If you have specified In Parallel for the Execute Actions property of the action's hierarchical Actions or Group property page, the actions within that same group are not affected; the errors are ignored and the other actions within the group are executed.

If the selected action is within a Group action, no actions outside of that Group action are affected.
