CA PAM - Using IF's
I have posted many examples here in the community, but of course CA Technologies has several documentation and I do not intend to recreate anything, so I just try to add examples or details that I can not find therefore i hope you could to found the CA Examples.
Assign Exit Conditions to Outcomes
You can define an exit condition for each outcome of the operator. An operator can have multiple exit conditions for different outcomes, such as Completed or Failed. Operators support specific exit conditions. Some operators also allow you to define a custom port. For example, you can define a custom port that only runs if the operator result is True, False, "blue", 500, -2, or some other designated value. Define a custom port when you have a distinct course of action in mind for a particular exit condition. One such condition is when a database import fails for a particular reason. When a process runs and you encounter a situation with no specific exit condition, the process is suspended and switches into a blocked state, pending user action. An administrator or other user with sufficient permissions can change parameter settings if necessary and can restart a suspended process either where it failed or from the beginning.

Process Operator Ports and Links
Links between operators define dependencies. The links act on the results that each operator produces. Links define the order and logic of a process as it flows.
Different kinds of actions have different predefined results or outcomes:
- Successful
- Completed
- Aborted
- Failed
- Timed out
The application calculates these outcomes to determine the next exit conditions, ports, and links to activate, in a logical sequence. For example, you can add a custom port on some operators and can define the port to activate when an expression returns a True value.
Exit conditions on an operator are not mutually exclusive. If the product evaluates more than one exit condition as True, all of exit conditions are processed. Processing multiple exit conditions on a single operator can start subsequent simultaneous processing of multiple branches.
When a process runs, the product activates its operators only once. When a link leads to a previously activated operator, the product does not reprocess the destination operator and the branch that the link extends ends.
Note: Links are joined to operators at small connection points called ports.

CA Examples:
And ...
We already have examples of AND / OR
So that in this specific example there is a variation which I did not observe in these CA examples.
In this case I put only a few operators who believe it best to explain their operation, therefore, how to do?
| Image | Description |
|---|
 | 01. On Operators windows, get the "Run Javascript", drag and drop to Process |
 | 02. Using the right button, Choose the option "Custom Result" |
 | 03. Type Name Expression Description and select your icon |
 | 04. Using only as an example, a variable was included in this simple code to force the output. |
OR Also you can use coding with javascript operator, here a simple sample of code:
if (Process.AlarmTitle != "BLADE STATUS UNKNOWN SYMPTOMS"){
Process.symptom="904";
}
else
{Process.symptom="905"}
