Working with Stop Steps

---

Stop steps are used to raise an error to the user and terminate the workflow process instance.

The main parts of creating a stop step for a workflow process are:

Define a stop step
Define input arguments for the stop step
Define output arguments for the stop step

Table 29 describes how the Stop step is handled, depending on how it is called and in which object manager it is running.
