Run containers dynamically

Hi Community,

 

Is it possible to run a container depending if the tools in a prior container failed and threw and error? 

 

Essentially I have 1 container with Logic that has the potential to fail. Depending if it does or does not I'd like to be able to run one of the other containers.

 

I understand I'd need to use the interface tools but i have no familiarity with them, in addition I am not sure if you can even pull the information if the tool fails to use in the logic to run the next containers.

 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Under what condition would the fail be caused?  Something at the source of data or due to the output of a tool?

@patrick_mcauliffe  It would be at output

@AntDavis42  If you can quantify the output under which you'd want to switch containers, then I'd enclose the divergence point into a batch macro.  Have an control parameter operate a detour tool which decides which path to take.

See the attached example and let me know if I'm following correctly.

@patrick_mcauliffe  Thanks Patrick! Tested it out on my case, didn't know of the divergence tool, and it's worked out well.

Good afternoon Patrick, how are you?

 

I believe that your flow meets my need, but I can't download it because it asks for authorization, could you put a print of the flow so I can understand what you did?

 

Thank you in advance for your attention
