Release Automation

Hi, this must be very basic question, but as a newbie just could not get it working ok. Scenario is that we need to do few REST calls to a server, until it replies something else than "in progress". Everything else works fine, we get a reply and parse a string fine from it. then 

1.  a Compare Two Strings -action is used to compare whether the parsed string equals to IN_PROGRESS

2. if it does not, there is an on failure link to another action which would stop the loop 

Sounds easy.. Below is shortened test case having dummy setter to make the compare step to fail. When run, the flow displays this.  Why is the on failure-link not followed  & next action not executed? 

Documentation here https://docops.ca.com/ca-release-automation/5-5-2/en/deployment-automation/design-applications/flows says

"On Failed

The condition resolves if the previous action fails.

you need to remove the must succeed check box from the action that is the source for the on failed link

Excellent, thanks! Saw that checkbox but was looking from wrong side, in flows where it was greyed.

I created new idea for enhancing the conflict manager to warn in this situation.

Conflict manager should warn when setting on fail link while the action set to must succeed  

Hi,

 You need to un check must succeed flag, with it not being uncheck the action goes in Pause state, by removing that bit action will go to fail route.
