Jump Step

When you add a Jump step, you set some properties.

The following table describes the properties in a Jump step:

Property	Description
To	The target of the jump. Select from a list of available steps. More than one step can jump to the same target step. To see how many Jump steps have a particular step as their target, place the cursor over the arrow next to the target step. When you use the Jump step in conjunction with the Parallel Path step, you can only jump to another step on the same Parallel Path branch. Keep in mind the following restrictions when you use the Jump step and the Parallel Path step together: If you are in a Parallel Path step, you can't jump to a step on another branch of the same Parallel Path step. If you are in a Parallel Path step, you can't jump to any step outside the Parallel Path step. If you are outside a Parallel Path step, you can't jump to any step inside the Parallel Path step. You can't jump to any step from the fault path. You must merge the fault path back to the main process path to add the Jump step. You can't jump to a step inside the fault path if you are outside the fault path. Use the following best practices when you use the Jump step in a process: Instead of using a Jump step from an outside flow to a step inside the fault path, design the process by replacing the Jump step with the same flow as in the fault path. If you use a Jump step for iteration purposes and it points to a Service or a Subprocess step with fault handling, enclose the Service or Subprocess step with fault handling inside another Subprocess step.
