3.3.9 Scenarios where relational lines cannot be drawn

Relational lines that form a loop

You cannot use relational lines in a way that creates a loop within a flow.

Relational lines that connect a step to itself

You cannot draw a relational line if the source and destination steps of the line are the same.

Identical relational lines

You cannot create parallel relational lines with the same source and destination step.

Multiple inputs to a judge returncode plug-in

Because a judge returncode plug-in judges the return value of the preceding step, you cannot draw relational lines to such a plug-in from multiple steps. Only one step can serve as the preceding step of a judge returncode plug-in.

Connecting a judge returncode plug-in or judge value plug-in to a judge returncode plug-in or judge value plug-in

You cannot draw a relational line that connects a judge returncode plug-in or judge value plug-in to a judge returncode plug-in or judge value plug-in. However, you can connect such a plug-in as a succeeding step.

Relational lines from a branch destination step of a judge returncode plug-in or judge value plug-in

A judge returncode plug-in or judge value plug-in can only have one branch destination step, which cannot be connected further by a relational line. If you need to use several steps, draw a connection line to a flow plug-in.

Relational lines to a branch destination step of a judge returncode plug-in or judge value plug-in

You cannot draw a relational lineto the branch destination step of a judge returncode plug-in or judge value plug-in.
