Branch Selection

Branch Selection Functions

Overview

You can use the NCC API to select or exit any branch of the Logic Node, giving you full control over your calls. All branches are available selection, including the Default and Error branches.

Functions

▲ ncc.branch.select (branch)
  Parameters branch The number of the branch to take (mandatory, 1-32).
  Returns Nothing.
  Errors If the provided branch is not able to be turned into a number, the following error will be raised:

Branch selection must be a number.

If the provided branch is a number but is not in the valid range, the following error will be raised:

Branch selection must be between 1 and 32 inclusive.

If the provided branch is in the valid range but greater than the number of exits the node has been configured with, the behaviour is undefined but will probably result in a runtime exception and the call being aborted. Note that the NCC SDK does not allow for runtime retrieval of the number of branches the node has.

Usage This function instructs the ACS engine to select the target branch for use when the node exits. This selection will be stored and then honoured once the node has finished processing or if ncc.branch.exit is called with no arguments. This number is indexed from 1.

If an error occurs in other processing, the Error branch will still be taken, as normal. This function does not override Error branch selection.

ncc.branch.select (3)

Selecting a branch does not end processing. To immediately exit the node, use ncc.branch.exit.

▲ ncc.branch.exit (branch)
  Parameters branch The number of the branch to take (optional only if previously provided via ncc.branch.select, 1-32).
  Returns Nothing.
  Errors If branch is not provided and no branch has previously been selected via ncc.branch.select OR if branch is provided but is not able to be turned into a number, the following error will be raised:

Branch must be either provided or previously selected.

If branch is provided but is not in the valid range, the following error will be raised:

Branch selection must be between 1 and 32 inclusive.

If the provided branch is in the valid range but greater than the number of exits the node has been configured with, the behaviour is undefined but will probably result in a runtime exception and the call being aborted. Note that the NCC SDK does not allow for runtime retrieval of the number of branches the node has.

Usage This function instructs the ACS engine to immediately exit the node, following either the provided branch or the pre-selected exit if no branch is supplied. The branch number is indexed from 1.
