Purpose

• Fails an order in a workflow. The order halts and is assigned the FAILED state.
• FAILED orders remain with their workflow position and require user intervention to transition from this state.
• Users can resume, suspend and cancel FAILED orders, see JS7 - Order State Transitions

Workflow Instruction: Fail

Download workflow example: pdwFail.json

Explanations:

• The workflow makes use of an If Instruction to check a previous job's return values. See JS7 - If Instruction for details how to add expressions.
• If the If Instruction evaluates to true then the Fail Instruction is executed. The order is then assigned the FAILED state.
• When failing an order then a message and a return code optionally can be added that specify the reason for failing the order.
