Description:
This step generates a random number within the high and low range values.
Inputs
- lowValue – low value
- highValue - high value
- varGlobal – variable/global to store the random number
Returns
- True – step executed successfully
- False – step failed to execute
Usage:
Example:
Let’s build and execute the randomDef example.
- Create a new definition called “randomDef ”
- Select the definition and click the “design” button
- Drag a random step to the canvas
- Connect the dots between the start and random step
- Define a variable/global to store the random number generated
- Click the “random” step to configure its “Settings” properties. Provide a step name. Provide a high-value number. Provide the variable/global to store the generated random number. Click the Save button to confirm.
- Click the “random” step to configure its “Settings” properties. Provide a low-value number. Click the Save button to confirm.
- The “Logging” setting configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures the workflow progress and the percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.
- Save the process definition, create a new process instance, and execute. Render the process instance. Click on the Random process step to view its properties. The step should generate the random number.
