Automation Workshop includes the Stop Task Action which serves as a tool for automatically managing ongoing processes. This Action allows automatically stopping any running Task, as well as the very Task within which it is located.
Being able to return a successful completion status, as well as a warning or an error, the Stop Task Action can be effectively integrated into a wider scheme of automatic Task management.
Features & highlights
- The Action can stop the Task in which it is executed, or another Task.
- Stop Task with an information message, warning, or error.
- Log an optional custom error message.
Usage examples
- It can be used to stop all specified Task instances, if necessary. This is useful in situations when a computer needs to be restarted, and Tasks must be gracefully closed.
- It can be used in a combination with If Actions to terminate the currently running instance of the Task, if a predefined condition is reached.
