Load Plan Step Sequence

1.     Understand the Load Plan Step Hierarchy:

• A Load Plan consists of an organized hierarchy of child steps that define how the steps will be executed. The steps can be processed in parallel, in series, or conditionally (based on variable values).

2.     Define the Steps Hierarchy at Design-Time:

• When adding a step to the Load Plan:
• Step Type: Choose the step type (which determines the possible child steps and execution flow). The step type also defines how the child steps are executed (e.g., in parallel, in series, or conditionally based on a variable). Refer to Table 13-1 for more details on step types.
• Step Placement: Decide where to insert the step in the sequence. You can add the step:
• As a child step (under a parent step),
• As a sibling step after the selected step,
• As a sibling step before the selected step.
• See the section Adding Load Plan Steps for detailed instructions.

3.     Reorganize Steps:

• You can change the order of steps in the Load Plan by either:
• Dragging the step to the desired position in the hierarchy.
• Using the arrows in the Step table toolbar to adjust the position of steps. For more information, refer to Table 13-2.

4.     Enable or Disable Steps:

• At both design-time and run-time, you can choose to enable or disable specific steps in the hierarchy.
• Disabling a step also disables all of its child steps. These disabled steps and their child steps will not be executed when the Load Plan is run.

5.     Review the Execution Flow:

• Carefully configure the execution flow by ensuring that the steps are placed and defined correctly based on your requirements (parallel execution, series execution, or conditional logic using variables).
