Can we set a default value for the container variable.?

Suppose if i have a loop step and i have given a container variable i=5 as end condition.What value will it take during its first execution?Can we set the value for container before a recieve step?

Hi

Define Container Variable of Type integer and Category Simple Type .Use Condtion in Loop.

In Container Operation Step Assign value and Use Expression to

Increase or Decrease Valus according to your operation.

look Pattern 4 in this blog to understand Container Operation

Its not required to set the counter value before receive step. e.g. for receiving 5 files using the same receive step, create a loop step working on counter -> Receive step -> Container step to collect the message -> Container Opertion step to assign the value and append 1 to increment the counter -> End loop.
