Title: How To Retry Steps if condition not met
Post by: Captain on 21 Jan 2016 12:25:00 PM
I have a process that has an initial condition of checking a flag from our ETL processing table. If flag is good, generate reports as usual. However, if flag is not good, we want to keep re-trying or re-checking the initial condition every X minutes, until that flag is good, to then generate our reports.

What would be the west way to accomplish this?

Hi,

You can't implement this kind of processing loop in Event Studio. An alternative would be to have the agent fire off the reports only for a "New" condition, and have the agent scheduled every X minutes?

Cheers!
