Workflow Instruction: Try/Catch

• Download exampleWorkflow Example (.json upload): pdwTryCatch.json 

Explanation: 

• If the first or second job within the Try block fails then the jobs in the Catch block will be executed and those in the Try block will be skipped.
• If the jobs in the Catch block are executed successfully then the order will continue with the instruction after the Try-End node and otherwise the order will fail and will be halted in the Catch block.
• An empty Catch block indicates successful outcome and makes an order move to the next instruction.
