Adding an End Step

An end step is a type of workflow process step that specifies when a workflow process ends. It also provides one last chance to save output arguments to a process property. A workflow process must contain at least one end step.

To add an end step

1. Add an end step to a workflow process.

   For more information, see Adding a Step to a Workflow Process.

2. Make sure the step you added in Step 1 is still chosen in the Process Designer.
3. In the MVPW, define output arguments for the step.

   For more information, see Using Process Properties.

Differences Between the End Step and the Stop Step

The stop step sets the state for the workflow process to In Error. The end step sets the state to Completed. It is important to consider this situation if you use the Workflow Monitor Agent to start a workflow process. If the Ignore Errors parameter of the Workflow Monitor Agent is set to False, and if a workflow process includes a:

• Stop step. Workflow Monitor Agent exits with error.
• End step. Workflow Monitor Agent does not exit with error.
