Grouping different activities in a single group is a common approach for clubbing the similar activities while developing TIBCO BW processes in TIBCO Designer. Grouping is done in TIBCO BW Processes to achieve following purposes:

• To apply certain group actions for two or more activities.
• To have single transition from a set of activities to another group or individual activity.
• To perform certain actions iteratively for X number of times.

There are different types of Group Actions in TIBCO BW which can be used while grouping activities in TIBCO Designer processes:

TIBCO BW Group Action Types

None

None group action is used for grouping without looping. In this case, activities inside the group will be carried out only once no matter it succeeds or fails.

Transaction Groups

Used to group activities that participate in a transaction. Eg. JDBC group activities

Iterate Loop

Iterate Loop group action is used to iterate a group once for every item in a list. Iteration can be for any number of times depending on the loop condition specified.

Repeat Until True Loop

Used to iterate a group until the specified condition is true.

Repeat On Error Until True Loop

Used to iterate a group when an error occurs. This continuous iteration will continue to happen until the condition becomes true. Upon true condition, process will continue forward from the group activities.

If Groups

To conditionally execute business logic.

While True Groups

Repeats the series of grouped activities as long as the given condition evaluates as true.

Critical Section

Used to synchronize process instances so that only one process instance executes the grouped activities at any given time.

Pick First

Allow process execution to wait for one or more events
