Defining a Stop Step
It is recommended that the Stop step be used only in Workflow Processes invoked from a script.
To define a stop step
- Make the appropriate process active by selecting it in the All Processes view.
- Navigate to the Process Designer view and double-click the Stop icon to access the details view.
NOTE: To add a Stop step to the workspace, drag and drop the Stop icon from the palette to the workspace.
- Enter a name for the step.
- Enter a description of the purpose of the step.
- Select an error code.
NOTE: To define a custom error message, select an error code starting with WF_ERR_CUSTOM. The error message displayed will be %1. To define the text of the custom error message, enter an input parameter with the name %1, and then enter the text of the message in the value field for input arguments.
- If you need to define input arguments for this step, continue to Defining Stop Step Input Arguments.
Defining Stop Step Input Arguments
NOTE: No picklist is available for Input Argument Name. The input arguments for a Stop step are the substitution variables in the error message. Substitution variables are identified by a "%". To define the substitution value, enter the substitution variable in the input argument name, such as "%1".
To define input arguments for a stop step
- With the appropriate name displayed in the Stop applet of the Stop view and the Input Arguments applet active, choose Edit > Add New Record.
- Enter a name for the input argument.
This should be the substitution variable appearing in the error message.
- Choose an input argument type. The choices available are:
- Literal
- Process Property
- Expression
- Business Component
- If the input argument type selected is Literal, enter a value.
- If the input argument type is Process Property, select a property name and a property data type.
- If the input argument type is Business Component, select the applicable business component name and business component field.
- If the input argument type is Expression, enter the expression in the value field.
- Enter any appropriate comments.
