CHAPTER 8 • BASIC TASKBUILDER FUNCTIONS 87
˽ Creating multiple actions from the same start component to different end components.
The same start component information will be used for each action.
Figure 8.6 – Multiple Actions from the Same Start Component to Different End Components
˽ Creating actions from multiple start components to the same end component. In cer-
tain situations, such as the end component being a file and the File Operation property
being set to Overwrite, this will not be optimal because the results of later actions will
eliminate the results of the first action.
Figure 8.7 – Actions from Multiple Start Components to the Same End Component
Below is an action that is NOT allowed in TaskBuilder:
˽ Creating actions that form a loop; tasks must be directed acyclic graphs. If adding an
action creates a circle where you can trace through any number of actions and com-
ponents back to the start component, the action is illegal. All task trees must be finite.
To avoid loops, create a copy of the original start component to act as the new end
component.
Example
If A-to-B is an action and B-to-C is an action, C-to-A is an illegal action because it
would form a loop. To avoid this loop, make a copy of A, in this case named D, to
act as a separate component in the abstract task design. The flow of the task then
becomes A-to-B-to-C-to-D.
