Parameter

Description

Number of parallel tasks

The maximum number of tasks that can be executed in parallel at once.

Not available in Factory Lite license.

Fail policy

How you want to manage any failed tasks. The possible options are:

  • Continue: all other tasks in the process continue to execute, apart from those directly downstream of the task that raised the error.

  • Stop neighbors: the tasks in the same sub-process, and who are connected to the task that raised the error, change from pending to ready status. Any other sub-processes will continue to run and can be successfully computed. This is the default value.

  • Stop process: the whole process stops executing.

Priority policy

How tasks will be executed when there are apparent contrasts in priority order definition:

  • Parent first: in cases of ambiguity, the hierarchical position of tasks will be considered to have a higher priority than the priority number itself. This is the default value.

  • Priority first: in cases of ambiguity, the priority number of the task will be considered to have a higher priority than the hierarchical position of the task.

Fail policy macro

How you want to manage any failed macros. The possible options are:

  • Continue - if a macro fails, any other macros in the flow will continue to run. This is the default value.

  • Stop macro - if a macro fails, the other macros in the flow will not execute.
