Condition Dictionary is used to centrally manage conditions that are frequently used among many flows, mapping flows, action groups, conditional mapping or ECA rules. In the Condition Dictionary, users can define common conditions once and then reference them when needed in different places. The Condition editor provides the access to define Common conditions.
1 Double-click the Condition Dictionary in UDTT Project Explorer to launch the Condition editor.
Note If the Condition Dictionary is not listed under the Definitions folder, open Project > Properties > UDTT > Project Preference and check Show Common Condition.
2 Right-click on any blank space in the editing area and create a Common condition.
Fill in the Condition description
1 Enter an id and a description for the condition.
▪ id should be unique. Do not use duplicated names.
▪ description is used as tooltip for the condition.
2 Select the target environment, client or server side. This option will define which environment the Condition will be used.
▪ Client indicates the condition will be used in ECA rules.
▪ Server indicates the condition will be used in Condition states or conditional mappings.
