MTS Multipurpose Elite - Manual (Page 437)

Note:
When designing procedures, do not use activities in parallel paths within the same parallel activity
that operate on the same control channel. Resource conflicts of this sort are not reported during
test design, but do generate an error during test execution.
Two parallel paths (branches) are automatically created when the Parallel Paths activity is added to the
test procedure. Within the activity, you can add activities and other parallel paths. Each path has its own
display name.
When you create a new parallel paths activity, a validation error is present until you select one or more
terminal paths in the Terminal Paths property. The parallel paths activity completes when any of the selected
terminal paths complete. To designate specific activities as terminal activities, click the green plus sign in
the Additional Terminal Activities property and add the desired terminal activities from the list of activities
in the parallel path.

Description Item
Specifies the variable that gets set at the end of the path. This lets you
identify which path ended the Parallel Path activity. For example, when Store Ending Path Value
running a test, you may either complete the test or hit a preset limit that
will stop the test which is then identified in the Store Ending Path Value
variable.
Specifies the path and activity that will indicate the end of the Parallel
Path activity. When this activity ends, the test workflow moves onto the
next activity. Terminal Paths
Specifies other activities that will terminate the Parallel Path activity.
Click the green plus sign to open the Activities Selection window and
select the activities that will end the Parallel Path activity. Additional Terminal Activities
