A sequence contains a series of steps and can consist of the following components:

  • Setup step group
  • Main step group
  • Cleanup step group
  • Sequence local variables
  • Sequence file global variables
  • Sequence parameters
  • Callback sequences

The following figure illustrates the structure of a sequence file.

Built-In Sequence Properties

Sequences include built-in properties you can specify using the Sequence Properties dialog box. For example, you can specify that the flow of execution jumps to the Cleanup step group whenever a step sets the status of the sequence to Failed.
