Does CloverETL provide the conditional branches?

Hi Pro,

Do you know whether CloverETL provide the similar functionality as the task “Decision” in Informatica PowerCenter Workflow Manager?
It means that the result of current phase running will decide which phase will be conducted for next.

E.g. The graph has 3 phases, how can we implement the business logic as below:

  1. if phase 1 runs successfully, then phase 2 will run accordingly and ended without executing phase 3
  2. if phase 1 runs into failing, afterwards phase 3 will run into the end instead of phase 2

Since I did not find the corresponding component or approach in CloverETL to meet this requirement, thus any suggestion to accomplish that business logic in graph level or workaournd will be appreciated as well.

Thanks,

Hi evanchen,

workflows are not yet supported, but we plan to introduce them in near future.

What you can do now, is to use RunGraph component for launching 2 graphs, instead of phases. Just use “Partition” component for selection of branch and 2 “RunGraph” for execution “branch” graphs. Then you can join outputs and continue in your graph processing.

See sample graph for “graph layout” idea.

Hi Jaroslav Kuboš,

Thanks for your graph, also your comment is pretty useful and it helps me out.
