Designing Processes › Process Operators › Logical Operators

Logical Operators

The logical operators (And, Or) are used to synchronize, unite, and split processing according to conditions. In this release, the And and Or operators are available in the Standard folder in the Operators palette.

Note: Beginning in CA Process Automation r4.0, the Derivation operator is no longer available. When imported or migrated to this release from a previous release, the Derivation operator is converted to an Or operator.

Example: Conditional Logic

The following process example shows eight operators and nine links (two blue, four green, and three red).

• The Start operator at the top initiates simultaneous processing of the first two linked operators (Task 1 and Task 2).
• Task 3 starts only after Task 2 successfully completes.
• The And operator on the Task 1 and Task 3 exit links is activated only after both Task 1 and Task 3 successfully complete. This path ends at the green Stop Success operator.
• The Or operator on the Task 2 and Task 3 exit links is activated after an abnormal exit from either Task 2 or Task 3. This path ends at the red Stop Failure operator.
• The Process Control operators running on an orchestrator run a process. You can run individual process tasks on any agent touchpoint that is in the same environment as the Orchestrator. For example, Task 1 can flow on a Windows touchpoint while Task 2 and Task 3 flow on a UNIX touchpoint.
