About the End Step

An End step specifies when a process instance is finished. It also provides one last chance to store output arguments to a process property. Each workflow process definition must have at least one End step.

For more information, see Defining an End Step.

Differences Between the End Step and the Stop Step

An important difference between the Stop step and the End step is that the Stop step sets the workflow state to In Error while the End step sets the workflow state to Completed. This is important to keep in mind when calling a workflow process using Workflow Monitor Agent.

If the WorkMon parameter Ignore Errors is set to False, a workflow process that encounters a Stop step causes WorkMon to exit with error. If the workflow process encounters an End step, WorkMon does not exit with error.

Defining an End Step

You define an End step in the Process Designer in Siebel Tools.

To define an End step

Perform the procedure described in Adding a Step to a Workflow Process with the following modifications:

• With the end step chosen in the canvas, define output arguments for the step in the MVPW.
