Examples of activity keywords Branch, Queue usage
Hi all,
Can anyone please give me examples where we can use Branch and Queue keywords explicitly.
I am also wondering what is the use of branch if we can call an activity conditionally(to mimic the scenario where calling activity having steps after branch step.) and in jump condition use exit activity.

You can use "when" condition in an activity in this scenario. Branch is used when you want the current activity to find another specified activity and branch to it without a return.

Queue instruction is used to call activity asynchronously. Let's say in ActivityA you have Queue ActivityB step. As soon this step is reached ActivityB will be be queued to be executed in background and ActivityA next steps will proceed as it is without waiting for ActivityB to complete.
Batch instruction completely transfers the control to called activity.
Let us know if this helps :)

Hi Rawap,
1) Here if some Error occurred in Queued activity. Will there be any effect on Calling Activity execution..?
2) We have a Page used in both activities, if we update the page in Act-A and also in Act-B, will the changes in Act-B available in Act-A (vice versa also)..?
Thanks,
Chandramouli.
