Both products support disabling portions of the workflow. All activities All processes
In MPT, processes can be disabled so that they do not generate
the Done trigger (clear the Process Enabled check box), or such
that they trigger Done immediately (set Execute Process xxx
Times to zero). The way you do it depends on the desired effect;
detector processes are generally disabled so as not to trigger at
all, command activities generally have the repeat count set to zero
so that the next command activity starts immediately.
MPE implements an Enable check box for every activity. When
this check box is cleared, the activity will end immediately. The
exception is parallel branches. Disabling a parallel branch causes
it not to do anything. This is used to get the behavior of disabling
detectors that are in that branch.
MPT supports a repeat count on the general page of all activities.
This feature is used for: All activities All processes
• When used on a Group box, it enables looping. In MPE, similar
and more capable functionality can be obtained using the While
Loop or Repeat Loop activities.
• When set to zero, a process is skipped (see previous entry).
• MPE can simulate this behavior with a While Loop or Repeat
Loop activity.
