I've setup a job that has a condition applied to it.

The condition has one file condition that matches if c:\testdoc exists

Then I've got the actions set to "MatchAll->Retry" and "MatchAny->Retry"

When I turn on debug logging, it states that "Condition Set (Job)returned: MatchAny->ActionRetry"
BUT the job continues to the first task and never reevaluates the condition.

My understanding is that with ActionRetry, the condition is to be reevaluated and retried until it is no longer valid waiting for a specified interval between retries... Is this wrong?

Thanks,
Dustin

I think we might verify this easier if you exported your settings and send to support@visualcron.com. Please point out which job you are talking about.

Will this export have any sensitive password data in it?

I've attached a screenshot of the job log...

I think the problem is that you have checked the Condition set at Job level instead of the Task level.

So is there not away to hold the job until the condition is not met?

I misunderstood you. Seems like something is wrong here. We will run some tests and get back to you with a new version. Next version estimated to be released on Friday next week. Thank you for your report and patience.

Thank you

I did more testing yesterday. If I add conditions to tasks with Action Wait->Retry, then the task itself will retry the condition as expected. The only issue is with Action Wait->Retry on conditions applied to jobs. They only test once and then continue regardless of the action (as is seen in the log screenshots above).

Hope this helps,
Dustin

Thanks for your testing. The problem seems to be a built in "feature" which skips Condition check if it is being run manually. We have planned to add an "alternate Execute" which execute with Conditions in mind.

Hi,

Did you get an alternate execute working yet?

Hi,

Did you get an alternate execute working yet?

Yes, this was introduced in 5.5.4.

Hi,

I am having a similar problem where my conditions are not working. I am setting a task where emails are sent out every 30 min with 10 pdf attachments. The pdf documents are created by a 3rd party & I want to be alerted when they are not created. I have set-up a condition (at the task level) when the file condition is 'false' to sent me a email. But it does not work manually or when a time trigger is set.

Can you help? (please see my settings below - we are running version 5.6.2)

Condition:
File Information:
File path: C:\Pulse\A_Summary.pdf
Credential: master@ASSET
Match:
File Exists: False

Action:
On Match All:
Don't Wait
Run Task: Email-No Pulse Reports

Without knowing too much of the settings your Task should be run if the file does not exist - given that you are right clicking and choose "Run With Conditions".

Thanks!
