You can create a transition condition that prevents a file transition until the XML import has occurred and data is available for updates.
- In the Transition Properties dialog box, create conditions on the transition that triggers the import. Use these parameters:
| Op |
Condition |
| Type |
Variable |
| Variable Name |
For example, ArticleID or Cost |
| Configuration |
Leave blank to include all configurations |
| Argument |
Type !=. |
For example, for a file in the vault with no values for
ArticleId or
Cost, the transition fails with a warning if the file starts the state transition before the import completes. After the import completes, the transition is successful and
ArticleId and
Cost are assigned values.
