Stop Task

Automation Workshop includes the Stop Task Action which serves as a function of automatic management of ongoing processes. This Action allows automatically stopping any running Task as well as the very Task within which it itself is located.

Being able to return the successful completion status as well as a warning or error, the Stop Task Action is effectively integrable into a wider scheme of automatic Task management.

Features & highlights

  • Action can stop the Task in which it is executed, or some other Task.
  • Stop Task with an information message, warning, or error.
  • Log an optional custom error message.

Usage examples

  • Can be used to stop all specified Task instances, if necessary. Useful in situations when a computer needs to restart, and Tasks must be gracefully closed.
  • Can be used in a combination with If Actions to terminate the currently running instance of the Task, if a predefined condition is reached.

Documentation
