Branch Execute Types

The following section describes branch Execute Types.

Execute Type – All

Use the Execute All branch object when simultaneous processing of operations or phases is required. The AVEVA Batch Management System evaluates the branch beginning with the left-most leg. If the transition logic is True or if there is no transition logic, operations or phases in the leg are processed. Any transitions that are not on the first iteration, are continuously evaluated until their state becomes True and all legs are processed. The AVEVA Batch Management System does not continue beyond the branch return object until all the legs have been processed.

The Execute All branch object is graphically shown as two parallel horizontal lines.

Note: The batch manager does not continue past the Branch Return object until all transition logic and operations or phases in all the legs are processed. Therefore, when you construct procedures, ensure that all of the legs associated with the Execute All branch can be processed.

Execute Type – One

Use the Execute One branch object when the processing of a single leg of a branch is required. The AVEVA Batch Management System evaluates the branch beginning with the left-most leg. If the transition logic is True or there is no transition logic, operations or phases in the branch is processed. All other branches are ignored. If all the legs of a branch have transition logic that is False, the AVEVA Batch Management System continues the evaluation of each transition until one of the legs changes to a state of True.

The Execute One branch object is graphically shown as a single horizontal line.
