Scenarios based on action type

Use a generic branch job based on the action type to specify the action to perform on the run branch and stop branch.

You can complete the following actions:

• Stop branch
  • CANCEL: The whole stop branch is canceled. This is the most frequent action on the stop branch.
  • PAUSE: The first job of the stop branch is paused (HOLD). For more detailed information, see Pause/Release actions scenario
• Run branch
  • No action: The run branch runs. This is the most frequent action on the run branch.
  • Release: If the first job of the run branch is paused (HOLD), raise its priority (RELEASE). For more detailed information, see Pause/Release actions scenario
• Special action
  • SIGNAL: This action does not do anything with any of the branches. It recommends which confirmation the HCL Workload Automation operator is to perform. For more detailed information, see Signal action scenario.
