The Go To action instructs the Integration Service to jump to one of the following locations:

• Any designated action within the integration, whether or not it is in the same action group.

• The next iteration of a While Loop or For Loop action.

• The end of the current action group. Any actions that follow the group are then executed.

You can configure the following properties for the Go To action:

Action

• Name: Specifies the name of the action. If desired, you can replace the default name by typing a new name in the field.

• Description: Allows you to save a description for the action.

• Run Action: Allows you to specify how often you want to run the action.

  • Always: Specifies that the Integration Service will run the action each time it runs the integration.

  • Never: Specifies that the Integration Service will not run the action when it runs the integration.

  • Conditionally, based on variable: Specifies that the Integration Service will run the action only when a selected variable meets a specified condition. Use this option in situations where there is only one condition that determines whether or not the action will run. Once you have enabled this option, you can create the conditional statement in the input box provided.

    Input box controls

    • Variable: Enter the variable that you want to use for the conditional statement. Alternatively, you can add a variable for the conditional statement value.

    • [Relational Operator]: Specifies the relational operator to use for the conditional statement. Click the existing operator to open a list of additional operators, and select the one you want to use. For more information, refer to Relational Operators. The operators available in the list depend on whether you have selected Text or Decimal for the Type option.

    • Value: Specifies the value(s) to use for the conditional statement. Some operators, such as Is null and Is not null, do not require a value to be specified. In these situations, the Value field is not available.

    • Type: Specifies whether the conditional statement is evaluating a text or decimal value.

       

  • Conditionally, based on expression: Specifies the conditions under which the Integration Service will run the action. Use this option for situations that require more than one conditional statement. Once you have enabled this option, you can create the conditional expression in the input box provided by creating the desired conditional statements. You create and edit your conditional expression on the Tree View tab. Click the Text View tab to see a read-only text view of the conditional expression.

    • [Conditional Joiner]: Specifies the conditional joiner for the conditional statements within the group. The default conditional joiner is And.

      Click the existing conditional joiner to access a menu that allows you to configure your conditional expression in one of the following ways:

      • Select a different conditional joiner: The menu options include a list of conditional joiners. Select the conditional joiner you want to use for the conditional statements. For more information about the supported conditional joiners, see Conditional Joiners.

      • Add Condition: Click to add another conditional statement to the current group.

      • Add Group: Click to add a sub-group of conditional statements to the current group.

      • Remove Group: Available in the menu when the menu has been opened from a sub-group. Click to delete the sub-group.

      • Clear All: Available in the menu when the menu has been opened from the top-most group. Click to delete all conditional statements (including sub-groups).

    • : Visible just to the right of each conditional joiner in your expression. Click to add a conditional statement to the group associated with that joiner.

    • :  Visible when you position the cursor over an existing conditional statement. Click to delete the conditional statement.

    • Variable: Enter the variable that you want to use for the conditional statement. Alternatively, you can add a variable for the conditional statement.

    • [Relational Operator]: Specifies the relational operator to use for the conditional statement. Click the existing operator to open a list of additional operators, and select the one you want to use. For more information, refer to Relational Operators. The operators available in the list depend on whether you have selected Text or Decimal for the Type option.

    • Value: Specifies the value(s) to use for the conditional statement. Some operators, such as Is null and Is not null do not require a value to be specified. In these situations, the Value field will be hidden.

    • Type: Specifies whether the conditional statement is evaluating a text or decimal value.

Go To

• Modes: Specifies how you want the Integration Service to continue processing the actions in the integration.

• Specified Action: When this option is selected, the Integration Service executes the action that you specify in the list of additional actions that are included in the integration.

• Next Loop Iteration: When this option is selected, the Integration Service executes the next iteration of the current loop action. This option is available when the Go To action is part of a While Loop or For Loop action or when the Actions group has been configured to execute two or more times.

• End of Group: When this option is selected, the Integration Service jumps to the end of the group and executes the next action that follows the group action. If the group was the last action in the integration, the integration ends.
