Execute Actions

Execute actions include a wide variety of actions including those that enable you to group a subset of actions, send script commands, manipulate database records, and set variables for use by other actions.

Action

Description

Group

Enables you to specify a sub-group of actions for an integration. The actions within the group may be executed repeatedly in sequence or in parallel.

While Loop

Enables you to specify an action or group of actions that the Integration Service continues to execute sequentially as long as the specified condition continues to be satisfied.

For Loop

Enables you to specify an action or group of actions that the Integration Service continues to execute sequentially until a specified value is reached by either incrementing or decrementing an assigned variable value with each loop iteration.

Select Case

Enables you to create one or more Case subactions and a single Default action and to specify a variable that the Integration Service evaluates to determine which of those actions to execute.

Go To

Jumps to a specified action to continue execution.

For Each Database Record

Executes a database query and actions for each record.

Stop

Power Shell Command

Print BTXML Script

Enables you to send BarTender XML Script to BarTender for processing the code and completing the tasks that the code defines.

Wait

Specifies a time period that elapses before the action completes. You can use this action to enable a pause in sequential actions.

Wait for File

Set Multiple Variables

Sets the values of one or more variables.

Increment Variable

Enables you to specify a variable whose value you want to be incremented each time the action is executed.

Decrement Variable

Enables you to specify a variable whose value you want to be decremented each time the action is executed.
