Repeater node is used when output of one activity is sent to more than one activity. For example, data from a file source is sent to two File Targets.
Steps to use a Repeater Node
- In Web Process Designer, click Repository View icon. All the items in the Activities list are displayed.
- Expand Repeater Node and select the RepeaterService.
Drag it to the Canvas area. A Repeater Service node is displayed in the canvas area.
- Connect all activities with appropriate control flows in the Canvas area.
The above figure does not illustrate the data flow. It is showing the sequence in which activities will be executed. This should be noted that File Target and File Target1 activities must not be connected with Repeater Service in parallel to each other.
Now to specify data flow, multiple streams must be created with Repeater Service.
