BP: Only continue when number of records is greater zero

[Former Member]

Hi everybody!

In my business process I have a decision step which should end the process if a synchronous send step does not yield a result.

I thought this could be achieved using an XPATH syntax like so:

count(/p1:data/p1:records/p1:PKEY)

Using a container operation I assign the result of this count to a variable. However, this XPATH expression yields 0 - regardless of the number of records received. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

it has to work but the xpath needs to be used <b>correctly:</b>

Hi,

Solved the problem myself. Unfortunately I couldn't get the XPATH right. So I just created a simple mapping which counts the number of records, added a transformation step to my BP and used the result in a condition step to end the process if the count was zero.

Thanx for the help, though!
