2.67 For Each Dialog - Counter Values Tab

Use to specify condition expressions for the starting and final counter values. When the forEach activity is started, the expressions you specify for the starting counter and final counter values are evaluated. Once the two values are returned, they remain constant for the life of the activity. Both expressions must contain at least one character that can be validated as an xsd:unsignedInt. If these expressions do not return valid values, a fault is thrown. If the starting counter value is greater than the final counter value, the contained scope activity is not performed and the forEach activity is considered complete.

Note: The forEach activity is supported in BPEL projects that support version 2.0 of the BPEL specification. This activity replaces the flowN activity that was supported in version 1.1 of the BPEL specification.

For more information about the forEach activity, see the Web Services Business Process Execution Language Version 2.0 Specification at http://www.oasis-open.org.
