The JS7 - If Instruction is used for conditional processing of orders. It can be used to evaluate the variables of the order using the If-expression. You can only use If-Instruction in a workflow if there is no statement that needs to be verified.

Workflow

In the workflow jdConditionalVariables two If Instructions are used:

• The If Instruction uses the expression variable( 'run_job1' ) == true. With this predicate, if the job's order variable run_job1 return the value true then the If Instruction evaluates to true and continues the execution in the workflow.

To execute the workflow from the folder 07_ConditionalExecution follow the below steps:

7. To check the status of the order click the name of the workflow to make the Order History panel appear.
   
   
   
   
   
8. From the Order History panel, you can verify if the order is successful and finished. Click the Order ID to see the log output created by jobs executed for this order.
