Conditions

A control activity in a business process represents a question that must be answered to continue the business process in a certain direction.

The answer to the question is placed in a variable, which is referred to as a condition. If the question concerns an implementation choice, the answer is stored in a variable referred to as a static condition.

Static Conditions (tgbrg5580m000)

To create and maintain static conditions, use the Static Conditions (tgbrg5580m000) session.

For each static condition, you must select a default value, which is set to No by default; however, you can change this value to Yes in the Default field.

Depending on the presence of particular business functions in the business function model, the values of static conditions can be changed using static condition setting rules. The default values of the static conditions you select in this session are used to determine the value of a static condition if the static condition rule does not evaluate to true, or does not evaluate at all.

As a standard, the default value must be set to No; therefore, only the rules that change the value of static conditions to Yes must be defined.

To see the result of a static condition, you must incorporate the business process in which the static condition is used in a business model. Then, you must carry out the static condition setting rules.

To create a static condition, complete the following steps:

  • Click New
  • In the Static Condition field, specify a name for the static condition.
  • In the Default field, select the default value.
  • Click Save

To find out where certain static conditions are used, use the Print Where-Used Static Conditions (tgbrg5481m000) session.
