I am working on a simple looping construct using conditions.

In task "ftp results" I set variable X to 0
In task "xxxx" I check the value of X. If it is 0, I run task "ftp1"

Problem is, task "ftp1" is never executed. I keep getting "Task: ftp1 was not started"

If I change task "xxxx" to a mail task and keep the conditions the same, it works. That makes me believe my condition is evaluation correctly. As a test I changed the condition check to be != 0 and get the same result. What is preventing my task from being executed?

I am using version 5.6.0

You should probably see in the log why the Task was not started. It could be a Condition that stops it or similar. Add debugging to the Conditions that you have (in the Condition set window). Then run it again.

Here is what the logs have to say:

5/26/2010 11:57:35 AM Debug Running Condition Set: '' for Task: xxxx
5/26/2010 11:57:35 AM Debug Variable Condition (Int32->Equal) returned: Match
5/26/2010 11:57:35 AM Debug Condition Set (Task) returned: MatchAll-> ActionContinue
5/26/2010 11:57:35 AM Info Task started: xxxx (65)
5/26/2010 11:57:35 AM Err Task was not started because job was already running
5/26/2010 11:57:35 AM Info Task completed: xxxx (65)
5/26/2010 11:57:35 AM Info Job completed: FTP test
5/26/2010 11:58:00 AM Debug Saving Jobs


I am trying to implement a loop wihtin a job. The task I am trying to execute is not running, btu the job itself is running. This screen shot may help.

Any thoughts?

You need to uncheck "Don't start if Job is already running" in Job main settings.
