CanPuncher 2: Everything about PreConditions and PostConditions

Are you ready to embark on an exciting adventure in the world of IT automation? Then our CanPuncher Company training is for you! In about 45-60 minutes, depending on your experience in automation process design, you will be guided through an exciting story that will put your skills to the test.

What awaits you?

  1. Blocking with PostConditions: Learn how to stop a workflow if something goes wrong. You add post conditions to tasks to block the workflow in the event of errors. This prevents chaos and keeps everything under control.

  2. Alerting in case of issues: In this exercise, you will set up a notification system for abnormally ended tasks. You will create a script and a workflow that becomes active in the event of an error and learn how to avoid a flood of alert messages during restarts.

  3. Small change, great effect: Here, you will customise an export script to export data in smaller packages. You will deal with wildcard file transfers and learn how to analyse and fix various errors.

  4. Not every error is the end of the world: Untangle confusing return codes. Do this by adapting the post-condition logic of the existing tasks.

  5. Clever use of PreConditions: In this exercise, you create separate import tasks for each file and set PreConditions to check whether the file actually exists. This way you avoid unnecessary task executions and make your workflow even more efficient - if it fits into your design.

Your takeaway

After this story lab, you will have accumulated a whole load of Automic practice. These skills are worth gold and will help you on your way down the Automic Designer learning journey!
