OTL Syntax
EventHandling.CloseEventSource({EventSourceVariable[ ] source});
Description
The OTX CloseEventSource action will close and dispose given event sources. Closed event sources will no more queue any events.
Once closed, an event source can not be reopened. Using a closed event source e.g. in a WaitForEvent action is an error and will cause an otx:InvalidReferenceException (through the EventSourceValue term).
In case that CloseEventSource is applied to an event source which is already closed, the action will perform nothing (NOP)
CAUTION — In Parallel execution, situations may occur where an event source gets closed by a CloseEventSource action while being used in a WaitForEvent action (in another parallel lane). If the WaitForEvent action has no other event sources registered, this will cause a deadlock situation. OTX authors need to avoid such situations by careful test sequence design and the usage of the MutexGroup node.
